HYBRID ONIONS 
Since our first commercial introduction of 
hybrid onions in 1947 they have repeat- 
edly shown their advantages, in the areas 
to which each is adapted, particularly by 
heavier yields of well shaped bulbs, earlier 
and more uniform than comparable vari- 
eties. Seed of the following is now available. 
Asgrow Y40: 88 days. Early, mild and sweet, 
nearly full globe shape, like Early Yellow Globe. 
Adapted to the mid-South and for first planting 
further north. 
Asgrow Y41: 98 days. Almost globe shape, 
with mild white flesh and tight skins. Same 
maturity and adaptation as Early Yellow Globe 
but larger and milder. 
Asgrow YA4l1 
Asgrow Y42: 100 days. Resembles Yellow Sweet Spanish and adapted to the same areas, but is 
larger and earlier. Globular bulbs with neat, tight necks and skins of deep straw color. 
Asgrow W45: 105 days. Of Southport White Globe type, but earlier and larger. Attractive 
bulbs with clear white flesh, medium pungent. 
PARSLEY 
The seed is slow in 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 finely cut and curled. 
Plain: Flat leaves used for flavoring. Hardy. 
Rooted (Hamburg): Grown for its roots, which 
are used for flavoring. Multicurl 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 nanure 
will lead to forked and irregular roots. A 
few radishes are frequently sown at the 
same time to mark the row. Thin out 
BUA d 
to 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.
