Early Yellow Globe 
EARLY YELLOW GLOBE—A Woodruff in¬ 
troduction, and the earliest producer of 
quality globe onions. Has the shape of 
Yellow Globe Danvers, but is ready to 
harvest fully three weeks earlier. Has 
a fine color, a thick skin and keeps well. 
See price below. 
MICHIGAN YELLOW GLOBE SPECIAL 
(Brigham strain)—A very superior strain 
of yellow globe, with deep globe shape, 
a dark yellow skin and clear white flesh. 
Noted for its storage qualities, and for 
this purpose has no equal. See price 
below. 
JAPANESE—Introduced by Woodruff in 
1916, and extensively used for sets, the 
bulb is yellow, flattened, a heavy yielder 
and good keeper. Onion sets of this 
variety develop fewer seed stalks than 
any other sort. See price below. 
WHITE PORTUGAL or Silverskin—A fine silvery-white flattened bulb that keeps well, useful 
for pickling, bunching and the standard for white sets. Medium sized with mild flavor, 
and earlier than Southport White Globe. See price on page 27. 
EARLY RED GLOBE—A new Woodruff introduction, offered this year in our catalog for the 
first time. The companion of our Early Yellow Globe, this supplies the need for an earlier 
red onion of attractive globe shape. It is just as early as Early Yellow Globe, about three 
weeks ahead of Southport Red Globe. The first real improvement in red onions in many 
years. See price on page 27.
