El Paso, or Large Mexican Onions
This seed is sent us by one of our customers in Mexico and in that section is used to the exclusion of all other sorts. It will there grow to a diameter of six inches, and not unfrequently weighs two to two and a half pounds. The flavor is very mild, and they are eaten like apples. Skin white; flesh white, rather coarse-grained. In form, it is not unlike a mammoth White Portugal Onion.
