Standard variety, long-day. Adapted to the more northern districts of semi-arid irrigated regions of the western USA. Maturity 115 days. Foliage light green and somewhat resistant to thrips. Bulbs large, deep-globe shaped, small, fairly heavy neck. Skin straw-yellow and adhear fairly well in handling and storage. Flesh white, fine grained, medium-firm. Flavor mild. Keeping quality fair, however, if bulbs well dried, can usually be held until February. Popular in the West and inter-mountain area as a shipping variety. Used for slicing and hamburger purposes. Popular with home and market gardeners due to large attractive size and mild flavor. Heavy yielder. Resistant to the Oregon strain pink-root.
