 this variety also is one of the best keepers. The globes are 

 medium to large in size and medium early. A smooth deep 

 purplish-red skin covers the paler flesh which is mild, fine 

 grained, and tender. This onion is excellent for home 

 gardens.

YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS The most ex-tensively used 

 main crop yellow onion for the home garden. Our selection

 The bulbs are medium to large sized, uniformly globe- 

 shaped and white fleshed, with a crispness and an excellent
