The Texas SuperSweet 1015 onion makes its 1990 debut late this month in groceries, restaurants, and markets nationwide, with harvests lasting until mid May. Yields fell due to drought and a December freeze in the Rio Grande Valley, yet breeders claim the tearless, high yielding onion stores well, resists disease, and is favored for fresh markets and onion rings.
