Asgrow Seeds are Well-brea@) 

ONION 
The onion is a heavy feeder and, for well-shaped, fully developed bulbs, demands a rich and finely 
worked soil. It is a hardy plant and seed may be sown early in rows 15” apart. Thin out the seedlings 
to 3-4” and cultivate frequently to keep down weeds. 
* Crystal Wax (sometimes called White Ber- 
muda): 93 days. An early variety popular in 
the South for shipment to northern markets. 
Attractive bulbs of medium size, flat, clear white 
and of mild flavor. 
Early Yellow Globe: 98 days. The earliest yel- 
low globe, yet productive and a good keeper. 
Earliness minimizes thrips’ damage. 
*Babosa: 90 days. A distinctive variety for fall 
seeding in California and Texas. Large bulbs 
with white flesh of mild and pleasing flavor. 
Highly desirable for early markets. 

Prizetaker: 105 days. A large variety grown ex- 
tensively in the South for shipping. Resembles 
Yellow Sweet Spanish but is not quite as large. 
Red Creole: 115 days. A popular Southern va- 
riety for winter growing. Bulbs are flattened- 
globe in shape, firm and of distinctive flavor. 
Southport Red Globe: 110 days. The best red 
onion; globular, strong. 
Southport White Globe: 110 days. The standard 
white main crop onion. Large, round bulbs of 
very attractive appearance, excellent quality and 
flavor. 
* Southport Yellow Globe (Brigham strain): 109 
days. A hardy late sort, valued because of its 
superior keeping qualities. Globe-shaped and 
solid; creamy white flesh, fine-grained and of 
mild flavor. 
White Portugal (or Silverskin): 100 days. A most 
popular and serviceable variety. Medium sized, 
thick-flat bulbs; firm and white. A dependable 
cropper and keeper. May be planted late to get 
pickles in fall. 
White Sweet Spanish: 112 days. The largest of 
the white onions; similar to Yellow Spanish ex- 
cept in color of skin, but not quite as good a 
keeper. 
* Yellow Bermuda (sometimes called White Ber- 
muda): Similar to Crystal Wax but with straw- 
colored skin and nearly white flesh. 
Yellow Globe Danvers: 112 days. Deservedly 
popular. Hardy and reliable. Medium large 
bulbs with small neck. Skin yellow, flesh solid, 
mild and white. 
*Yellow Sweet Spanish: 110 days. Skin is 
golden yellow but flesh is white, crisp and mild. 
A very large, globe-shaped onion, excellent for 
shipping or storage.
