HENDERSON’S 
SUPERIOR ... SHOWN 
WHAT IS THOUGHT OF OUR STRAINS. 
‘‘Must say I can find no other seed that can anywhere near equal your 
Southport Onions. I get a better yield by 200 bushels per acre, and they are 
larger, better globe shape and better keepers, and can get 15c. to 20c. per bushel 
more for them than for other Onions. I raised over 10,000 bushels this year 
and am getting all the best Onion trade in this section.” 
S. N. BULLIS, Produce Grower, Linesville, Pa. 
“T grew about 2,000 bushels of your WHITE GLOBE ONIONS this year. 
I got as high as 900 bushels to the acre, all beautiful Onions. I will want a 
considerable quantity of pure WHITE GLOBE eastern-grown seed, just like 
the seed you sent me last spring. It was splendid and without any mixture 
whatever.”’ JAMES McVITTY, Perry, Ohio. 
sel think your Southport Yellow Globe Onion Seed is entitled to more 
prominence in your catalogue. It is the. best strain of onions in this country 
to-day. Ona 5 acres of ground I grew 5,186 bushels of sound onions. I 
hope you will send me the same this year. I don’t ask you to bid on poor 
SOUTHPORT. GLOBE ONIONS, 
IN COLORS 
RED, WHITE 
and YELLOW 
These are the largest and handsomest of the American 
Onions, being of almost perfect globe shape, heavy, solid, big 
yielders and splendid keepers, with fine white-grained flesh. 
There is such a marked superiority in the Eastern-grown types 
of the Globe Onions, commonly known as the Southport 
strains, over the Western-grown types that we have discarded 
the latter, as it is economy to use Eastern seed even at a higher 
price. That our seed of these important varieties is from 
highly bred and most carefully selected types is attested by the 
numerous commendatory letters we receive from critical Onion 
growers, afew samples of which we print in preceding column.

“My patch of Southport Red Globe Onion is causing lots of comment

section.’

Leaflet, 
How 
“*Prizetaker’ Onion is the greatest and best Onion that ever 
was raised. I raised one last year that was over 14 inches around 
it.” J. M. GREGORY, Sunderland, Vt. 
‘*The ‘Prizetaker’ Onion seed produced a wonderful crop. The 
warm fall caused all other varieties to sprout and grow more or 
less, but the ‘ Prizetaker” has not yet shown a green sprout. Mild 
in flavor, of large size, and a good keeper, it surely is a perfect 
vegetable.”’ HIRAM COLLEGE, Hiram, Ohio. 
“T raised your ‘Prizetaker’ Onion last year and never saw 
anything like it. I sold them at 5 cents each. Some of them 
weighed as much as 2% lbs., and then they are so mild that a baby 
can eat them. I always speak a good word for your house.” 
Mrs. E. A. BELL, Belles Store, La. 
“We raised your “Prizetaker’ Onions last season and everyone 
who sees or eats them is delighted. They are rightly named for 
they took the first premium at our Lewis County Fair among a 
large number of competitors.” 
Mrs. M. M. LYMAN, Lowville, N. Y. 
__“I can not speak too highly of your ‘ Prizetaker’ Onion, which 
Yielded at the rate of 1,200 bushels per acre. They were perfect in 
shape and very large, many Specimens reaching 16 to 18 inches in 
circumference, one in particular being 18% inches around. I desire 
to compliment you for the true merit all your seed possesses.”

PRIZETAKER ONION. 
THE GRANDEST VARIETY GROWN FOR 
THE AMERICAN CLIMATE. 
EXCELS IN YIELD. Z 38 EXCELS IN SIZE. 
EXCELS IN KEEPING QUALITIES. 
Its Mildness of Flavor and Tenderness are Unequalled Even 
by the Bermuda Varieties. 
IN SIZE IT IS NOT EXCELLED BY THE ENORMOUS 
VARIETIES FROM SPAIN. 
The Prizetaker Onion has now been several years 
on the market and is recognized as one of our best 
standard varieties. Rarely has any vegetable attained 
prominence more rapidly; it succeeds everywhere— 
east, west, north and south—and whether grown for 
home use or for marketing it gives universal satis- 
faction, yielding onions often 14 inches around and at 
the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per acre—often much 
more under exceptionally good culture. Its immense 
size and mildness of flavor delight everyone who raises 
it. Nothing short of actual knowledge of this variety 
will convey a really adequate idea of its great value, 
whether considered as a variety for commercial or 
private culture. Its immense size will recommend it 
to all, particularly when it is known that its keeping 
qualities are unexcelled. The exterior color is pale 
yellow, and the interior clear sparkling white. It is 
easily grown, medium early in maturing, mild in 
flavor. By sowing early ina sheltered spot and trans- 
planting the young plants, it can be grown to an im- 
mense size. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. % Ib., 
$1.40 lb., 5 Ibs. and upwards, $1.30 Ib. 
WHITE PORTUGAL,... 
OR SILVER SKIN ONION. 
For the family garden it is one of the best; the color 
is a beautiful silvery-white when cured under cover. 
Its shape is flat but symmetrical. For a white variety 
it is not only early, but a good keeper. It is more 
largely grown for sets than any other white variety, 
and is also largely used for pickles when sown three 
or four times as thick as usual. (See cut.) Eastern- 
grown Seed, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. Y% Ihb.,
