<jats:p>Hybrid onion, ‘Sweet Sandwich’, pedigree (MSU 5718 X MSU 8155) X MSU 826, released in Apr. 1982 by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture with Michigan State and Cornell Univ. Agricultural Experiment Stations, is adapted to areas of New York and the upper Midwest where ‘Spartan Banner’ and other late-maturing storage cultivars are grown. In nine years of trials on organic soil at Palmyra, ‘Sweet Sandwich’ produced consistently high yields, equal to ‘Spartan Banner’, ‘Spartan Banner 80’, ‘Surecrop’, and ‘Sentinel’, widely grown hybrids in northern muckland areas (Table 1). In 1984, ‘Sweet Sandwich’ outyielded ‘Sentinel’, the most widely grown cultivar in New York, in four of seven locations and produced an equal yield in the other three locations. At relatively low plant density during two years of spacing trials in New York, ‘Sweet Sandwich’ produced the large size preferred for mild onions without later maturity and increased storage decay.</jats:p>
