DREER'S CHOICE ONION SEED-c»'«-^ 



Large Red Wethersfield. A leading variety in 

 seme localities, and does very well in all sections. 

 It grows to full size the first season from seed and 

 is very productive. The Onions are large, flat in 

 shape, with skin of a purplish-red color and flesh 

 of a purplish- white color, rather strong flavored 

 and an excellent keeper. It does better in dry soil 

 than most onions. Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 20 cts.; i 

 lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



Extra Early Red. Earlier than the Wethersfield, 

 and somewhat smaller, close-grained and a good 

 keeper. The Onions are flat in shape, grow very 

 uniform and are somewhat strong in flavor. It is 

 about the earliest of the red Onions to mature and 

 for this reason largely grown. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 20 cts.; i lb., 60 cts.; lb., |2.00. 



Southport Red Globe. The deep red color of 

 skin and symmetrical form of this Onion make it 

 very attractive. It is globe shaped, of medium 

 size, keeps well and is of superior quality. This 

 variety is very popular in some sections. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; } lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50.

White Portugal, or Silver Skin. (See cut.) This vari- 

 ety is one of the leading white sorts, and is of beautiful shape 

 and very mild flavor. The bulbs are flat in shape and mature 

 early, making it a very desirable variety for growing in sec- 

 tions where the season is short. It is a splendid variety for 

 both family use and the market gardener, and is very largely 

 used for growing sets on account of its fine shape when small, 

 and also for its good keeping qualities. This variety is often 

 grown for use in the green state as a bunching Onion, and it 

 is also extensively used as a pickling Onion, for which pur- 

 pose it seems to be well adapted. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts. ; 

 \ lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



Southport White Qlobe. (See cut.) 

 On account of its uniform globe shape 

 this variety is highly prized, particularly 

 for the home garden, where quality as 

 well as appearance are desired. The 

 bulbs are pure white and of a very mild 

 flavor, also equally as good for keeping 

 as the Yellow Globe. It is good for use 

 as a medium crop, but most valuable when 

 grown for the main crop, as the flesh is 

 remarkably firm and solid. It is an enor- 

 mous yielder, and as it is very attractive, 

 always sells at high prices. It is best 

 to dry these onions in a shady place, and 

 give them plenty of air. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 25 cts.; \ lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50. 



White Queen, or Barletta. This is 

 the earliest variety of Onion and is vey 

 mild, pure white, both skin and flesh. It 

 does not grow to a large size, usually 

 averaging about li inches in diameter, 

 and is of a slightly flattened shape. It is 

 a splendid variety for pickling, for which 

 purpose it is largely grown. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz.. 30 cts.; fib., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00. 



riammoth Silver King. This is the 

 largest of the Italian varieties of Onion, 

 specimens having been grown to weigh 

 as heavy as three pounds. It is the lead- 

 ing variety of its type and produces the 

 full sized bulbs in one season's growth, 

 direct from the seed planted. It is flat 

 in shape and both skin and flesh are pure 

 white, mild and well flavored. Should 

 be used soon after being gathered. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; J lb., 85 cts.; lb., 

 $3.00.
