Asgrow Y42 
ASGROW Y51. New. An early, main-crop hybrid widely 
adapted through the midwestern and northern onion growing 
areas. Of Early Yellow Globe type, resembling Asgrow Y41. | 
Particularly valuable for its early maturity and heavy yields of 
good-sized bulbs. Same maturity as Asgrow Y41, with bulbs 
the same size or slightly smaller. The skins are heavier and 
slightly darker; the flesh is relatively firm for such an early 
variety, making Asgrow Y51 better for storage than other 
“soft” onions. Asgrow Y51 can be used wherever Asgrow 
Y41 has been grown successfully. 
ASGROW Y42. A long-day hybrid of Yel- 
low Sweet Spanish type; similarly adapted, 
particularly on muck soils, but maturing 
earlier. The bulbs are globular and medi- 
um-large to large in size. The flesh is mild 
and medium firm; a medium long keeper. 
Ample supplies of seed available. 
Gass) 
ASGROW W45. An early, long-day hybrid 
of Southport White Globe type, but sig- 
nificantly earlier in maturity and larger. 
The bulbs are exceptionally attractive, 
with trim necks that cure down quickly. 
The flesh is clear white, medium pungent, 
and medium firm; stores reasonably well. 
ASGROW B47. A _ long-day hybrid for 
storage. The bulbs are of medium size, 
with heavy, dark brown skin. Flesh pun- 
gent and hard. The bulbs store for long 
periods. 
ASGROW Y43. Similar to Yellow Sweet Spanish; adapted 
to all areas where that variety is grown and also to regions 
with a somewhat shorter season. Matures slightly later than 
Asgrow Y42 but significantly earlier than Yellow Sweet 
Spanish. The skins are somewhat darker and heavier than 
those of Asgrow Y42, and the bulbs are firmer and keep 
longer, though slightly smaller in size. Available in limited 
Hybrid onion crossing; the sterile 
supply. 
Early Yellow Globe 
male plants are in the lighter rows. 
BRIGHAM YELLOW GLOBE. An improved 
strain of Southport Yellow Globe, par- 
ticularly suited for peat and muck soils, 
widely used in the Midwest. The bulbs 
are globular, with rounded bottom, round- 
er than Yellow Globe Danvers; solid, 
well covered with tight-fitting thick skin, 
of somewhat deeper color than Southport 
Yellow Globe. Foliage dark green; par- 
tially resistant to aphids. 
Evergreen White Bunching 
EARLY YELLOW GLOBE. A standard yellow globe variety 
widely grown for mid-summer harvesting in northern areas. 
An exceptionally good keeper for so early a variety. The 
bulbs are medium large, yellow, with clinging skin, solid, 
uniform, and attractive. Now being replaced in many areas 
by comparable asGrow hybrids.

EVERGREEN WHITE BUNCHING (Nebuka). A_ bulbless 
bunching variety, grown for its long, pure white stems. Long- 
standing, tender, delicately flavored.
