The Granex onions are what the Vidalia onions are.

Many people mistake them for a variety and are sold as such when in fact they aren't.
Under law a Vidalia has to be grown in a certain region.

The 1015 in the 1015Y onion was meant to establish what their optimum planting date was, October-15 with the Y meaning yellow.
