HYBRID ONIONS 
We have developed the first commercial 
hybrid onions and strongly recommend 
them for earliness, hardiness and heavy 
yield. One grower writes: 
“These onions grew under the worst con- 
ditions this section ever saw — freezes, 
floods and heavy maggot work, but they 
out-yielded other onions by 50%.” 
Asgrow Y40: Medium early, mild and sweet, 
nearly full globe shape, something like Early 
Yellow Globe, but earlier. 
Asgrow Y41: Almost globe shape, slightly ta- 
pered to bottom, mild white flesh. Same 
maturity as Early Yellow Globe, but with 
tighter skins. 
Asgrow Y42: Resembles Yellow Sweet Spanish, but is earlier. Globular bulbs with good, tight 
necks, skins of deep straw color, mild flavor. 
PARSLEY 
The seed is slow im germinating and 
should be sown early, in rows 12-18" 
apart. Thin to 3-6" apart. 
Moss Curled: Its very dark green leaves are so 
finely crimped and curled that it looks almost 
like moss. 
Multicurl: A new Asgrow variety of very attrac- 
tive appearance and quality with bright green 
leaves very finely cut and curled. 
Plain: Flat leaves used for flavoring. Hardy. 
Rooted (Hamburg): Grown for its roots, which 
are used for flavoring. Moss Curled parsley 
PARSNIP 
Parsnips require the whole season to ma- 
ture and should therefore be sown early, 
in rows 18-24” apart. The soil must be 
well worked; lumps, stones or new manure 
will lead to forked and wregular roots. A 
few radishes are frequently sown at the 
same time to mark the row. Thin out 
3-4" apart. Frost improves the roots. 
Hollow Crown: The most popular variety. Broad 
shouldered with pronounced crown and long, 
tapering roots; fine grained, tender. 
All-American: Of medium length with wide 
shoulder; flesh white; core small.
