DREER’S MARKET GARDENERS’ WHOLESALE PRICE LIST. 15 
A standard sort and one of 
Yellow Globe Danvers. 
the most desirable ; an excellent-keeper and very productive. 
Our strain of this variety is the true globe shape, and not of the 
flat type. Onion growers throughout the country prefer this 
type of onion to all others, and it is with this in view that the 
bulbs from which our seed is grown are specially and carefully 
selected as to shape. It is the best paying onion that is grown 
for general crop. Oz., 20 cts.; & lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.75; 
5 lbs., or more, at $2.50 per lb. 
Philadelphia Yellow Dutch or Strasburg. A 
leading market variety; a good keeper and well flavored ; 
bright straw colored skin and somewhat flattened shape. The 
onions grow to a good size and are rather flat. This variety 
is largely grown for sets on account of its excellent keeping 
qualities, and the ready sale of same during the spring months. 
The seed crop of this variety was almost a failure last summer, 
and although we have received what we think will be suffi- 
cient for our trade we advise early orders. 
Oz.. 15 cts.; 1% lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75; 5 lbs. or more, at 
$1.65 per lb. 
Southport Yellow Globe. A large globular shaped 
yellow variety, very productive, of mild flavor. This is also a 
favorite variety with the onion growers, and is planted in large 
quantities each year. The outer skin is a beautiful pale yellow ; 
the bulbs are of a beautiful globe shape, and good keepers. 
The color and shape of this onion shows up to advantage 
when opened upon the market and it always sells rapidly at 
highest price. Oz., 20 cts.; % lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.75; 5 
Ibs. or more, at $2.50 per lb. 
Australian Yellow Globe. This extra early variety of 
onion originally came from Australia. It is a beautiful globe- 
shaped and quite attractive. The onions grow to a large size 
and are very solid, skin is deep yellow, flesh white and of very 
mild flavor. Besides being an extra early onion, it is very 
productive and a good keeper, thus making it a very valuable 
variety for those who grow for market, and the handsome 
appearance of the onion insures quick sales at good prices. 
Our customers who grow onions from seed would do well by 
planting this variety, as we are confident that it will please 
them. Oz., 20 cts.; % lb., 65 cts.; lb., $2.50. 
Rhode Island Yellow Cracker. An extra early vari- 
ety, popular in the Rhode Island markets. An excellent sort to 
raise where the seasons are short. We believe that when this 
variety is better known it will rank among the most popular 
sorts. It is a good keeper and also a good seller. Oz., 15 
cts.; % lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 
ONION SEEDS 
Prizetaker. (Seecut.) This is the large pale yellow 
Onion that is offered for sale in the fruit stores and markets in 
the fall. It grows toa very large size ; flesh white, of mild 
and delicate flavor. The large onions are raised first year 
from seed, and with ordinary culture produce enormous crops. 
The onions sometimes go over 3 lbs. each in weight where 
good soil and culture is given them. Our seed is pure and the 
genuine Prizetaker. Oz., 20cts.; 4% lb , 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 
Australian Brown Onion. The bulbs grow to good 
marketable size and are very hard and solid, and keep well. 
They ripen earlier than either the Yellow Danvers or Red 
Wethersfield, are beautiful brown color and mild flavor. A 
good thing in their favor is the fact that the crop runs uniform 
in size and shape; nearly every plant produces a fine onion. 
When better known, this variety will be used extensively by 
onion growers. Oz., 20 cts.; 14 lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 
Extra Early Red. Earlier than the Wethersfield and 
somewhat smaller, close grained and a good keeper. It is 
somewhat the shape of the cracker onion, but hardier. It is 
also used for growing onion sets. Oz., 15 cts.; 4% Ib., 50 
cts.; lb., $1.75. 
Large Red Wethersfield. A leading variety in the 
Eastern States, and in fact in all sections where red onions 
are grown ; it grows to full size the first season from seed ; 
thick through and large, deep red color, keeps well. This is 
one of the leading market onions and produces good crops of 
large onions which are of desirable mild flavor. Oz., 15 cts.; 
Y% |b., 5o cts.; lb., $1.75. 
Southport Red Globe. The deep red color of skin and 
symmetrical form of this onion makes it attractive. It grows 
to good marketable size and is true globe shape. The quality
