Southport Red Globe 
ONION—Continued 
Red Wethersfield—110 Days 
The standard red variety listed by us for over 100 
years, popular in the East, where large crops have 
been grown for years for shipment. The bulbs are 
broad and flat. The flesh is a light purplish red. 
Very productive and an excellent keeper. The 
seed of this Onion is used very extensively for grow¬ 
ing Onion Sets as well as large Onions. 
WHITE VARIETIES 
Bloomsdale Extra Early Pearl or White Queen 
—90 Days 
In many respects the most remarkable Onion under 
cultivation, growing with the rapidity of a Summer 
radish. Twelve weeks from sowing to maturity. 
The bulbs are pearly white, waxy, transparent skin, 
form flat, broad, with a slight corrugation around 
the edges. Flavor mild, all astringent qualities 
eliminated. Can be eaten raw with almost the 
freedom of an apple. The keeping qualities of the 
matured Onions are very good, the sets sprout very 
early, and should be planted not later than October. 
Silver Skin or White Portugal—100 Days 
A mild, pleasant flavored, white flat variety, ad¬ 
mirable for family use. Used almost exclusively to 
produce White Sets. Not so good a keeper as the 
Yellow or Red varieties. Bulb medium size, mild 
flavor, with greenish-white skin. Is about 8 to 10 
days earlier than White Globe and matures where the 
White Globe does not. The small bulbs are nearly 
round, but flatten as they mature. Listed by us first 
in our 1832 Catalog. 
Southport White Globe—110 Days 
A showy, mild flavored, large pure White Globe 
variety. Very solid, productive, a good keeper and 
possibly the best for setting of all White sorts, 
unsurpassed in uniformity, absolutely pure white. 
Used extensively in all sections where Onions thrive. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
Ebenezer or Japanese—100 Days 
An old yellow skinned variety lately reintroduced, 
bulbs deep flat of medium size, dark pure yellow, very 
firm and hard, popular at the present time for growing 
sets. Its other merits are that of a most vigorous 
grower, a heavy yielder, far greater than from 
Strasburg and astonishingly good, with long keeping 
qualities. It is the best yellow for growing sets. 
Prize Taker—100 Days 
Mammoth Yellow Globe derived from the huge 
Spanish Onion, exhibited for years in the markets 
in Autumn. Very early, does well in light sandjr 
soil. Very large producer and fifteen days earlier 
than the celebrated Southport Yellow Globe. A 
variety which will succeed under conditions where 
other sorts fail; consequently, highly recommended 
for planting everywhere. This is a most valuable 
quality. It makes a solid, slightly oval, round bulb. 
It is a good keeper, twice the size of the Globe 
Danvers. Produces much better Onions from seed 
in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New 
Jersey, than any of the Southports.
