WHOLESALE GARDEN SEEDS 
ONION—Yellow Varieties— ( Continued ) 
Early Yellow Globe 
A recent introduction that appears to have 
merit. This variety will mature ten days to 
two weeks earlier than Southport Yellow 
Globe. The bulbs are good sized. Shape is 
globe to flattened globe. Color is straw yel¬ 
low. Skin is tough and the bulb is a better 
keeper than most other early varieties. 
Where quick maturing early onions are 
wanted this variety should be tried. 
Ebenezer or Japanese 
A yellow skinned variety very popular for 
growing sets. Matured bulbs are large, 
somewhat flattened in shape, with small 
tops and will keep in good condition all win¬ 
ter. It is known as one of the mildest onions 
grown. 
Mountain Danvers 
An early yellow onion, not as round as the 
Globe Danvers nor as flat as the Flat Dan¬ 
vers. Color beautiful dark yellow shading to 
brown. Thick skin makes it a fine keeper and 
shipper. Flesh is clear whitish-lemon color, 
firm and fine grained, mild and sweet. 
N. K. & Co.’s Minnesota Yellow Globe 
A special strain of Southport Yellow 
Globe. 
N. K. & Co.’s Prize Taker 
Same as Denia or Valencia. 
Ohio Yellow Globe 
A generally popular yellow globe onion, 
named because of its great production and 
satisfaction in northern Ohio. Very attrac¬ 
tive shape, skin pure deep yellow, flesh firm 
and hard. Small necks. Good yielder and an 
excellent keeper. Similar to Southport Yel¬ 
low Globe except more flat bottomed. 
Southport Yellow Globe (Brigham 
Strain) 
A selection from Southport Yellow Globe 
for thick skin and keeping qualities. This 
variety has done especially well on peat and 
muck soils. The bulbs are deep globe shape, 
color is dark yellow or orange yellow. The 
skin is thick and there appears to be an ex¬ 
tra layer. A very excellent storage variety. 
Southport Yellow Globe 
The most popular late variety of splendid 
keeping quality. More oval than the Yellow 
Globe Danvers, much larger, more solid and 
heavier. Skin deep orange-yellow, flesh fine 
grained and fairly strong. 
Sweet Spanish, Riverside Strain 
A large, globe shaped light yellow onion, 
weighing 1 to 2 lbs., and unusually mild. 
Small top. A better keeper than the regular 
strain of Spanish onions. 
Yellow Globe Danvers 
A splendid variety for home gardens and 
market. Nearly globe shaped, with pure 
yellow skin, white flesh and mild flavor. 
Bulbs about 2 in. in diameter. Somewhat 
earlier than Ohio and Southport Yellow 
Globes. Very productive and a fairly good 
keeper. 
Yellow Strasburg or Dutch 
This widely cultivated yellow variety is 
the most popular for producing yellow sets. 
The bulbs are large, yellow, flat and of uni¬ 
form size. Skin clear bright yellow; flesh 
white with faint tint of yellow. Splendid 
keeper.
