110 days. The very large, globe-shaped Spanish Onions, which are 
sometimes incorrectly called ‘‘ Bermudas,” are exceptionally mild, 
fine grained and sweet—excellent when cooked or for use in salads 
or other ways without. cooking. They are remarkably uniform, 
have light yellow skin and pure white, firm, crisp, and tasty 
flesh, Although no onions of this type will keep as long in 
storage as Yellow Globe Danvers, Southport, or Ebenezer, 
Utah Sweet Spanish will stand shipping and storage for short 
periods better than Prizetaker, Gibraltar or the Bermuda 
varieties. Onions of the Spanish type grow to the largest 
size when they are planted to form their bulbs during the 
short days of spring or fall. In northern states, seed is 
usually started early. Pkt. 15¢; 1 oz. 50¢; oz. 95¢. 
How to. Grow Onions 
The soil best suited to grow onions is one that is reasonably 
fertile, well drained, and well prepared. Sow seed as early in the 
spring as the ground can be worked, in rows 1 to 1% ft. apart. 
Cover the seed lightly. If fully matured onions are wanted, thin 
the seedlings when 3 to 4 in. tall, to stand sufficiently far apart 
to develop without touching one another. When the bulbs have 
reached maturity, bend down the tops to hasten ripening before 
the onions are harvested. Store in a dry, free-from-frost place 
over winter. A pkt. of seed will sow 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 200 ft,
