No. 646. Yellow Dutch, or Strassburg. Days to Matttkity, 110. A very 



old variety, listed under the name of Large Yellow Strassburg by Landreth in 1826. 



Apparently the first introduction by the name of Yellow Dutch was about 

 1848, when it was listed as such by Comstock, Ferre & Company. The bulbs 

 of this onion are much flatter than any of the other yellow-skinned vari- 

 eties. They will average about three inches in diameter and from one 

 and one-half to two inches from top to bottom. The outside skin is 

 a straw-colored yellow, the flesh a creamy whi te, mild and sweet . The 

 tops ripen down comparatively early, and the variety is of fair keeping 

 qualities. Yellow Dutch, or Strassburg, is used for the production 

 of the finest grade onion sets. They will make by all means the hand- 

 somest sample of any of the yellow varieties. Pkt. 5t, oz. 15fi, lb.

 turity, 110. This variety originated in the South- 

 port, Conn., onion district. Listed by Johnson & Stokes 

 in 1889. The shape of the globe is similar to the 

 Southport White and Yellow Globe. The color is a 

 rich red, and the skin has a glossy appearance. The 

 neck is very small. The inside flesh is white, tinged 

 with purple. Shipping and storing qualities are excel- 

 lent. Pkt. m, oz. 20?!, yi lb. 75?;, lb. $2.50, 5 lbs.

No. 642. Large Red Wethersfield. Days to 

 Maturity, 100. Another American variety which 

 originated in the Connecticut onion-growing district 

 prior to 1863, and named from the town of Wethers- 

 field, Conn. The general shape of the Large Red 

 Wethersfield is spherical, being flattened at the ends. 

 In some respects it resembles the shape of the Ohio 

 Yellow Globe. The neck is very small. The tops 

 when grown are long, slender and clear-green colored. 

 The outside skin is a beautiful red, and the inside flesh 

 tinged with red. The flesh is more pungent than any other varietv.

MAMMOTH YELLOW PRIZETAKER 



(X 3/4) 



OHIO RED GLOBE (x 2/3) • 

 No. 650. Mammoth Yellow Prizetaker. Days to MATtmiTY, 

 110. Introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 1887 as Spanish King 

 Prizetaker. The name Spanish is still retained by some seedsmen, 

 but for the sake of simplicity we have discontinued its use. This 

 onion, during the first years of its introduction, was imported an- 

 nually from near Barcelona, Spain. It is a type of the famous 

 Spanish onion, as will be remembered by those of a generation ago. 

 When fully matured it will average four inches in diameter. The 

 color of the outside skin is a rich j^ellow, while the flesh inside is 

 white, mild and sweet. Under special cultivation these bulbs have 

 been known to weigh as much as five pounds apiece. As an onion 

 for fall and early winter use, Mammoth Yellow Prizetaker is very 

 highly recommended. It wiU not prove, however, to be a good 

 winter keeper, such as the Southports or as Yellow Globe Danvers. 

 In many respects it rivals the well-known and justly famous Bermuda 

 onions, which are so largely grown in Texas along the Mexican 

 frontier. Pkt. H, oz. IH, M lb. 60ji, lb. $2.00, 5 lbs. $9.50, postpaid; 

 by express, 5 lbs. or more, $1.80 per lb. 



No. 656. Southport White Globe. Days to Maturity, 120. 

 A variety originating in the Southport, Conn., onion district. It 

 was listed by Ferry in 1888. As a standard commercial white onion, 

 Southport "VVTiite Globe holds a position of its own. The bulb is 

 globular in shape, being slightly flattened at the shoulder and 

 rounded at the base. Crystal white in color and with pure, white 

 flesh, which is mild in flavor and most productive as a table variety. 

 It is an excellent shipping and storing onion, and will keep longer 

 than the Bermudas. Pkt. 10?!, oz. 20^, M lb. 75^, lb. $2.50, 5 lbs. 

 $12.00, postpaid; by expi-ess, 5 lbs. or more, $2.30 per lb. 



No. 658. Australian Yellow Globe. Days to Matur- 

 ity, 120. This variety is a selection from the older Australian 

 Brown, which was a native of Australia. Australian Yellow Globe 

 resembles, in many respects, the Yellow Globe Danvers, differing 

 from that variety in its general appearance and manner of 

 growth. Essentially it is the best storage onion under cultivation, 

 and is more highly recommended for this purpose than any other 

 variety we catalog. Pkt. 5)i!, oz. 15?!, M lb. 50(i, lb. $1.80, 5 lbs. 

 $8.50, postpaid; by express, 5 lbs. or more, $1.60 per lb.
