Dependable Vegetable Seeds 
ONION—Cont. 
Ohio Yellow Globe. A very desirable strain of yellow globe- 
shaped onion. The main features which distinguish this strain 
from others are its distinct and attractive shape; handsome, 
bright, even color; ripens early and all at once; necks very 
small and cure down very close. The bulbs are firm, solid and 
keep exceptionally well during the Winter. Although this was 
first introduced in Ohio, this strain is thoroughly acclimated 
and is suitable for northern conditions. 
Prize Taker. This onion has become a great favorite on ac¬ 
count of its large size and great solidity. It is perfectly globe- 
shaped, with straw colored skin; the necks are very small and 
the onions always ripen up hard. An excellent keeper, exceed¬ 
ingly fine flavor, grows to an enormous size, onions weighing 
five pounds having been grown from seed the first year. 
Southport Yellow 
Globe. Very simi¬ 
lar to the Large 
Red Globe, except 
that it averages a 
trifle smaller and 
matures a little 
earlier. The skin is 
a rich brownish 
yellow; the flesh 
white, crisp and 
fine grained. Great 
care has been giv¬ 
en to the selection 
of seed, so as to 
give uniformity of 
size, shape, small 
necks and heavy 
yield. 
Sweet Spanish. A 
large, globe-shap¬ 
ed light yellow 
onion, weighing 1 
to 2 pounds, and 
unusually mild. 
Small top. 
White 
Globe Onion 
Yellow Bermuda. The bulbs are quite broad and flat in form. 
The color is not a clear yellow, as in our American varieties, 
but rather a pale straw; flesh crisp, solid and mild in flavor. 
The plants are extremely thin-necked, insuring even and 
early ripening. 
Yellow Globe Danvers. The bulbs are large and globular, 
with very thin necks; rich orange yellow color. An enormous 
yielder and a fine keeper. Flesh white and mild. 
White Varieties 
Crystal White Wax. This new variety is a large, pure-white, 
flat Onion. During the last few years it has become very popu¬ 
lar with the large growers of Onions in the South, especially 
in southwest Texas. It does very well under northern condi¬ 
tions and produces one of the mildest and sweetest of them 
all. It is very fine for slicing, the color being so clear and pure. 
The best seed is produced in T'eneriffe, Canary Islands. Our 
stock is genuine. 
Southport White Globe. White Globe Onions command the 
highest market prices when they are true globe-shaped and 
free from stain. Our Southport White Globe Onion meets these 
requirements, having a thin skin of pure whiteness. The flesh 
is crisp, fine grained, very white and mild. As soon as ripe, the 
bulbs should be stored in a cool, dark shed or dry cellar. 
Sow one ounce of onion seed for 100 feet of row; 5 to 6 lbs. 
seed per acre.
