Dreer's Choice Onion Seed 



Australian Yellow Globe. [See cut.) This extra early 

 variety of onion originally came from Australia and as shown 

 in illustration, is globe-shape 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 , lo cts. ; %\h., 35 

 cts. ; lb., $1.15. 



Yellow Globe Danvers. A standard sort and one of 

 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 other.'', and it is with this in view that 

 the bulbs from which our seed is grown are specially and care- 

 fully selected as to shape. It is the best paying onion that is 

 grown for general crop, and will be the leading variety fcr 

 years. Oz. , 10 cts ; )^ lb., 25 cts. ; lb., 90 cts. ; 5 lbs. or 

 more, at 80, cts. per lb.

 globular-shaped yellow variety, very productive, of mild flavor. 

 This is also a favorite variety with the onion grower. The 

 outer skin is a beautiful pale yellow ; the bulbs are of a beau- 

 tiful globe shape, and good keepers. The Connecticut-grown 

 seed of this variety is far better than that grown in other sec- 

 tions, and will produce larger and better crops. Oz,, 10 cts. ;

Rhode Island Yellow^ Cracker,. An extra early 



variety, popular in the Rhode Island markets. An excellent 

 sort to raise where the seasons are short. We believe that

 popular sorts. It is a good keeper and also a good seller.

 marketable size and are very hard and solid, and keep well.

 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.

 onion growers. Oz. , lo cts. ; %\h., 25 cts, ; lb., 90 cts.

 from seed, and with ordinary culture 

 produce enormous crops. The onions 

 have been grown to weigh over 3 lbs. 

 each in weight, and where good soil and 

 culture is given them they will always 

 grow to a large size. Each year the 

 demand for pure seed of this beautiful 

 onion grows larger, and the onions
