Special Selections and New lems 
for 1950 

ONION, Yellow Valencia. The best Spanish-type 
Onion. None better for upland. Our strain is 
selected for extra size and uniformity. Bulbs are 
straw-colored, mild and sweet. See page 15.

best keeping Onion. The dark bronze skins are 
folded tightly around the bulb, thus reducing the 
amount of “peeling” when sorted and bagged by 
machine. Recommended for muck soil. Page 15.

the most desirable for growing mild, tender Bunch 
Onions. For best results well-fertilized land should 
be used. Our stock is supreme. See page 15.

markets. Fruits are 4 to 5 inches long and tapering 
to a point. Color lemon-yellow, turning red when
