White Sweet Spanish Onions — 
This strain was released by Pieters-Wheeler for the 1948 planting and -while in the 
past there has been introductions of a Jumbo White by other concerns, this is the 
first instance all reproductions were satisfactory and Jumbo size. One grower on an 
8-acre field produced from this seed 8,003 50-pound bags which in yield is equal to 
the Yellow Sweet Spanish, Utah Strain, and were sold on the market at a much 
higher price. It also is a globe shaped onion with a mild flavor and matures in prac- 
tically the same length of time as the Yellow Strain.

Early White Sweet Spanish Onions 
This is the original White Onion, globe shaped and mild flavor, somewhat lighter in 
yield than either the Yellow or Jumbo White but planted at the same time will ma- 
ture 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than the two above mentioned strains. This factor is 
an asset for in many cases the early and first maturing crops will hit a high market 
and pay dividends.
