Narrative
Standard variety, adapted to the same regions where the Spanish varieties are generally grown. Similar characteristics as Utah Spanish. First single centered White Utah produced. Excellent strain for French fried onion rings. Rings are medium thick, 12-14 in number. Attractive white bulbs, large, globe shaped, fairly firm and mild in flavor. Will keep longer than most other varieties of White Sweet Spanish types if well cured and well ventilated storage area. Resistant to both the Oregon and southern Texas strains of pink-root.
