White Portugal, or Silverskin.Operation 
A large, flat, white onion of mild and pleasant flavor; hard and fine¬ 
grained. White Portugal is more extensively grown for sets than any 
other white variety, and is also largely used as a pickier and for bunch¬ 
ing. An excellent keeper. 
Yellow Danvers, Round.Operative 
More flat in form than Globe Danvers, but in other respects quite similar; 
produces a good market onion and is an exceptional keeper; used most¬ 
ly to produce onion sets. 
Yellow Globe Danvers.Operator 
While not so “globy” as the Southport type and hence not so popular in 
the more critical markets, it is a very dependable onion to grow; it is 
almost devoid of “stiff-necks,” or scullions, is always a heavy yielder, has 
an excellent color, and because of its small neck cures well and makes 
splendid storage stock. 
Yellow Globe Danvers, our Finest Strain.Operose 
This, our special strain, is all grown from carefully selected, hand-sorted 
bulbs and is immeasurably superior to most stock offered under this 
name.
