No. 646 — Yellow Dutch, or Strasburg 



Days to Maturity, 110. A very old variety, listed under the name 

 of Large Yellow Strasburg 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 varieties. 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 white, mild 

 and sweet. The tops ripen down comparatively early, and the variety 

 is of fair keeping quality. Yellow Dutch, or Strasburg, is used for 

 the production of the finest grade onion sets. They will make by all 

 means the handsomest sample of any of the yellow 

 varieties. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c, H lb. 75c, 1 lb. $2.50, 

 postpaid. 



No. 652— Southport Red Globe 



Days to Maturity, 110. This variety originated in 

 the Southport, Conn., onion district. Listed by John- 

 son & 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. 10c, oz. 40c, M lb. $1.00, 1 lb. $3.25, 

 postpaid. 



No. 642— Large Red Wethersfield 



Days to Maturity, 100. Another American variety 

 which originated in the Connecticut onion-growing dis- 

 trict 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 variety. Pkt. 10c, oz. 40c, M lb. $1.00, 1 lb. 

 $3.25, postpaid.

No. 650 — Mammoth Yellow Prizetaker 



Days to Maturity, 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 annually from near Barcelona, Spain. It is a type of the 

 famous Spanish onion, as will be remembered by those of a genera- 

 tion ago. When fully matured it will average four inches in diameter. 

 The color of the outside skin is a rich yellow, 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 will 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. 10c, oz. 40c, J£ lb. $1.40, 1 lb. $4.50, postpaid.
