DREER'S CHOICE ONION SEED Continued 



Large Red Wethaarsfleld. A leading variety in some 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., 20cts.; Jib., 60cts.; lb., $2.00. 



Extra Early Red. Earlier than the Wethersfield, and some- 

 what 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.; \ lb., 

 60 cts.; lb., S2.00. 



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.; Jib., 75 cts.; lb., S2.30.

Southport White Globe. (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., 30 cts.; i lb-., 85 cts.; lb., §3.00. 

 White Queen, or Barletta. This is the 

 earliest variety of Onion and is very mild, 

 pure white, both skin and flesh. It does 

 not grow to a large size, usually averaging 

 about Ik 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.; 

 i lb., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00. 

 Mammoth 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 leading 

 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.; \ lb., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00. 

 White Portugal, or Silver Skin. (See cut.) This variety is 

 one of the leading white sorts, and is of beautififl shape and very 

 mild flavor. The bulbs are flat in shape and mature early, 

 making it a very desirable variety for growing in sections where 

 the season is short. It is a splendid variety for both family use 

 and the tnarket 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 purpose it seems to be well 

 adapted. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; Jib., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00.
