Sweet Spanish (Utah Strain). This strain 
of Sweet Spanish has been bred up to 
keeping quality perfection. Originally 
MONARCH 


the Spanish strain of this type did not 
have the keeping quality, hence seed 
breeders set to work to include the 
necensary keeping propensities. Such 
will be found in our Sweet Spanish. 
This is a very sweet and early onion. 
Most of you know it for its extreme high 
characteristics. Early, mild, excellent 
keeper, heavy yielder. Increasingly 
popular with the market and home 
gardener. Large, yellow, globular, with 
the market and home gardener. Large,

SWEET SPANISH ONION 
Yellow Globe Danvers. One of the 
most extensively used main crop yel- 
low onions for the home garden. Here’s 
what our grower says about our seed: 
“Our selection and breeding have de- 
veloped a strain which has the early 
ripening habit and small neck of the 
original Danvers and yet is more 
globular and prolific than the parent 
type. The bulbs are medium to large 
sized, uniformly globe shaped and 
white fleshed, with a crispness and an 
excellent mild flavor. Highly recom- 
mended.” Could you ask for more in 
an onion? Pkt. 10c: oz. 75c.

onion. An offspring of White Bermuda. 
Pure white in color, being waxy in
