New Giant Rocca Onions
An immense-sized onion, having attained nearly four pounds weight. Globular in form; skin light brown; flesh mild and tender. It will produce a large onion the first season, from seed, but to attain the largest growth, the smallest bulbs should be set out in the spring of the second season, when they will continue increasing in size, instead of producing seed, as is the case with American onions.
