WASHINGTON'S FLOWERING ONION

What this record means

The record shows that “WASHINGTON’S FLOWERING ONION” was registered on the Principal Register (Reg. No. 2247779) to WILKINS‑ROGERS, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation, but the registration was cancelled on Dec 26, 2009 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The only goods listed are “batter and breading mixes used for cooking onions” in International Class 030, meaning the closest area of concern is any food‑related product that mixes or coats onions. The record does not give the owner control over all uses of the words “Washington’s,” “flowering,” or “onion” in other categories. The prosecution history shows the mark cleared examination, was published for opposition in March 1999, and later received the required Section 8 filings until the 2009 cancellation; no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name for onion‑related food products.
