ONION Allium cepa For over eighty years we have produced onion seed for the critical trade of America. Outstanding depth of color, tough clinging skins with consequent exceptional keep- ing quality, and uniformity in trueness to type are factors which make our selected stocks superior. Planting stocks are renewed each year from parent lines pro- duced on our breeding grounds. The varieties listed in large type are, in our judgment, the most important ones. The number of days indicates the time from planting of seed to maturity of bulbs under mid-west and eastern growing conditions. Length of daylight is also a factor in the time required to form Days 100 90 109 Ebenezer: A standard variety used largely for sets Australian Brown, No. 5 The best strain of this standard variety, noted for keeping quality, pure lemon-yellow flesh and chestnut-brown scale color. Bulbs deep-flat or semi- globular in shape; with tough tight-fitting skins; flavor very strong, and flesh cooks rather dark. BABOSA (Early Grano) An early, relatively non-bolting variety of particular value for fall seeding in Texas and the Pacific Southwest. Bulbs top-shaped, medium large with straw-colored skin; flesh white, mild and of excellent flavor. Highly desirable for early markets. BRIGHAM YELLOW GLOBE Specially desirable on account of its fine keeping qualities. Bulbs globular with rounded bottom, a deeper, blockier type than Yellow Globe Danvers; solid, well covered with tight-fitting thick skins; foliage dark green; par- tially resistant to aphids. CRYSTAL WAX Sometimes called White Bermuda. Grown extensively in Texas for first early shipments to Northern markets. Bulbs very flat, medium sized, clear white; of mild, delicate flavor. The Asgrow strain represents many years of continuous selection
