Under good conditions the onions grow to enormous size, frequently measuring 12 to 18 inches in circumference and usually carry off the highest prizes when exhibited. The skin is bright yellow, slightly shaded with light brown, and even though thin it affords plenty of protection. The flesh is pure white, solid, juicy, crisp and mild. It has a thin neck which insures thorough ripening, which is of first importance when the onions are intended for storing. Pkt. 5t; 1 oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; % lb. 70c; 1 lb. $, post paid.
