iety yet received. See No. 25081 (Bull. No. 15) for de- 
scription. In addition to the information given there we 
find from a photograph in the Wilson collection recently

ALLIUM CEPA. 26134. From Denia, Spain. "Seed of the onion 
which is commercially grown on an extensive scale in Denia. 
The closest American representative of this type is the 
Prizetaker, which I understand is an American sport from 
this variety. It is probably the largest of the onions 
which are grown extensively for market, has the thinnest 
skin, is the mildest in flavor, and altogether the best 
onion produced in the world." (L. C. Corbett . ) 
For tests by the Bureau of Plant Industry to determine 
its commercial value.

hybrid between these species." (Wester.)
