In front, one of the new hybrid onions, with its parents in the background. Work has been in progress for some years, from the results of which seed will shortly bs available for the production of hybrid types, combining the most desirable qualities of their parent varieties ONION Allium cepa The varieties listed in capitals are, in our judgment, the most important. The number of days indicates the time from planting of seed to maturity of bulbs under midwestern and eastern growing conditions. Length of daylight is also a factor in the time required to form bulbs. Days Australian Brown 100 A 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; flesh cooks rather dark. BABOSA (Early Grano) 95 A short-day 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. Largely resistant to thrips. BRIGHAM YELLOW GLOBE 109 Bulbs globular with rounded bottom, a deeper, rounder type than Yellow Globe Danvers; solid, well covered with tight-fitting thick skins; foliage dark green; partially resistant to aphids. Of fine quality. CRYSTAL WAX 93 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.
