Burpee's Gigantic Gibraltar Onion
While the ripened bulbs are similar to those of the Prize-Taker in size and form, the plants continue in growth longer in warm locations, and consequently produce larger bulbs. The leaves or blades are distinct in appearance from those of other varieties, being of a deep green, with a glossy surface, enabling it to withstand dry weather and the attacks of insect enemies. The handsome large bulbs are nearly globular in form. Thin skin of light straw color; flesh white, tender, and mild. Crop very short. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c.
