Narrative

Long day onion (see PVP application; originally noted in GRIN as a short day onion); selected for resistance to pink root infection. 'Cardinal' is earlier maturing for planting dates before November. For planting dates after November 3rd, 'Cardinal' is slower to mature and loses size more quickly. 'Cardinal' has a lower cull percent when planted early. This is due to non-doubling. Increased cull percent at later planting dates is related to size loss consistent with maturity pattern. 'Cardinal' resembles F1 hybrid, 'Kurenai' in bolting resistance, plant type and growth habit. Bulb shape has been selected for similarity to 'Stockton Red', but resembles 'Kurenai' in reduced tendency for doubling. Bulb is large, deep flat shaped. Skin exterior is purplish red, with red interior; medium number of scales of medium thickness with fair scale retention. Pungency is mild; Poor storage.
