Burpee’s ONIONS 
For flavoring salads, raw or cooked vegetables, soups, 
sauces, stews, etc., or served as a separate vegetable, onions 
are universally popular. A large selection of varieties from 
which to choose—round or flat in shape, mild or fairly strong 
in flavor, and white, yellow or red colored skin although the 
flesh of allis white. For green onions or large onions, you have 
your choice of sowing seeds or planting sets. You may pull 
green onions as needed before the bulb enlarges or large onions 
after bulbs are formed. Fully matured onions may be kept for 
winter storing. Some varieties are better than others for this 
purpose as’ explained in the descriptions. 
682 Sweet Spanish © 
UTAH STRAIN 
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 re- 
markably uniform, have light yellow skin and pure 
white, firm, crisp, tasty flesh. Although onions of. 
this type will not 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. In northern states, where 
summers are short, seed is usually started early.
