developed samples 2 in. in diameter, 1J in. through the axis; neck and

Differs from most other white onions in the thickness of its outer 
envelopes. These are strong and opaque instead of being thin and 
fragile and almost transparent, as in many others. It keeps nearly as 
well as the best keeping red varieties, and the bulbs do not become 
green on exposure to light, as do many other white onions. It is 
moderately productive.
