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 all is white. 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. Onion sets are offered on page 101. 
682 Sweet Spanish © 
UTAH STRAIN 
110 days. Very large, globe-shaped, exceptionally 
mild, fine grained and sweet—excellent when 
cooked or for use in salads or other ways without 
cooking. They are remarkably uniform, have light 
yellow skin and pure.white, firm, crisp, tasty flesh. 
Under proper growing conditions, will measure 
4 to 6 in. across. Although onions of this type will 
not keep as long in storage as Yellow Globe Dan- 
vers, 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, and sections where 
summers are short, seed is usually started early.
