ONION—Yellow Varieties— (Continued) 
Ebenezer 118 days 
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. 
Golden Globe 115 days 
A bottleneck type with golden yellow, 
oblong-globe bulbs. Flesh firm and solid and 
bulbs keep well in storage. An excellent 
set variety that produces large, early, at- 
tractive set onions. 
Mountain Danvers 110 days 
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. 
Hollandale Yellow Globe 115 days 
An outstanding variety developed in the 
Hollandale area of Minnesota. Selected 
primarily for size, tonnage and keeping 
qualities. Bulbs “apple” shape to round 
globe, color bright straw yellow. 
N. K. & Co.’s Minnesota Yellow Globe 
115 days. A special strain of Southport Yel- 
low Globe. 
Ohio Yellow Globe 112 days 
Skin pure deep yellow, flesh firm and hard. 
Small necks. Good yielder and an excellent 


Southport Yellow Globe Brigham Strain 
keeper. Similar to Southport Yellow Globe 
except more flat bottomed. Replaced by 
Southport Yellow Globe Brigham. 
Prizetaker or Denia 105 days 
A sweet Spanish type about 10 days earlier 
than Southport Yellow Globe. Light straw- 
colored skin with pure white flesh, coarse 
grained but with rather mild flavor and a 
good keeper. Replaced by Sweet Spanish 
Utah Strain.
