The largest, handsomest, finest flavored, most superior White Flat Onion ever introduced. This simply magnificient Onion is certainly a wonder.

Of a clean pearly white color, it always grows to a uniform shape, which is perfect, very sweet and tender. It has a very small neck and always ripens up hard and fine, without any stiff-necks.
