HENDERSON'S LARGE RED 

 "WETHERSFIELD is a grand red 

 variety and a general favorite. With tho 

 exception of the Yellow Globe Danvers, 

 there is no variety so largely grown. Our 

 stock is excellent, being saved from only 

 carefully selected bulbs. The cut gives 

 an accurate idea of the shape. Our stock 

 will he found quite free from necky and 

 misshapen bulbs, and will invariably grow 

 to a large size under proper conditions. 

 The surface color is a rich dark red. It 

 is an early variety to mature and a fine 

 keeper. The flavor is good and mild, ad- 

 mirable for boiling. (See cut.) Price, 5c. 

 packet, 20c. oz., 45c. J4 lb., $1.35 lb., 5 lbs. 

 and over, at SI. 25 lb. 



"Please send me another ounce of your Large 

 Red Wethers field onion. 1 wish to compete for 

 the prize at nur fair and want your seed or none."

 Seeds has Seen emphasized many times already, 

 hut Mr. Henry Murray, the Smith Sale garden 

 tender, has just left at Holmes & Band's four 

 onions gruwn from the Henderson seeil, tbecOW- 

 bined weight ill' whieh is six pounds. There is 

 enough real onion in the tour speci- 

 mens to break up forty love matches. 

 Mr. Murray measured the ground upon 

 whieh ten bushels of these were raised 

 and finds thai the yield was at the 

 rate o\ i overt ,100 bushels to the acre."

HENDERSON'S EXTRA EARLY FLAT RED. 



Remarkably Early. Good Keeper. Mild Flavor. Excellent for Home Gardens. 



This is one of the best all-round varieties, being useful either for boiling, slicing or pulling 

 young for use in salads. It is the earliest of the Eed American sorts. The color is not so 

 deep as Red Wethersfield, and it is a little flatter in shape. It is valuable -where earliness 

 is a necessitv, and is a good keeper. Price, 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 60c. y* lb., SI. SO lb. 



ROUND "YELLOW DANVERS. Very similar to our Yellow Globe Danvers, differing 

 mainly in shape, being much flatter. It matures early, is a good keeper, is of good size, and 

 is an excellent sort for market as well as for general use. 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 45c. J4 1°'> §1-35 

 lb., 5 lbs. and over, at $1.25 lb. 



YELLOW DUTCH OR STRASBURG. A useful flat type of Yellow Danvers, used 

 largely to grow for sets. Flavor is mild, and it is a heavy cropper. The bulbs are flatter 

 and harder than any of the other yellow varieties. 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 45c. % lb., $1.35 lb., 

 5 lbs. and over, at $1.25 lb. 



H EN KK Yellow Globe Danvers. 



A STANDARD VARIETY EVERYWHERE. 



Shape round and uniform, not " necky." Bright attractive color, mild 



flavor, fine quality. Early, but sure keeper. Heavy cropper, good 



seller. More extensively grown than any other Onion. 



This is probably the finest all-round sort grown. The 

 enormous quantities annually shipped to market prove its 

 popularity, and it is more largely grown than any other 

 variety. We take unusual precautions to maintain the high- 

 est degree of perfection in our stock, and can confidently 

 claim superiority for it. The shape is round, a little de- 

 pressed at top and bottom. The color is a rich brownish 

 yellow, making a most attractive bulb. It is medium in 

 size, but remarkably solid and heavy, producing as much 

 weight per acre as any variety grown. It can be used to 

 great advantage from the earliest date to the last, as it is 

 one of the surest keepers, and is delicious even when in its 

 youngest stage. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 45c. 34 1d > 

 $1.40 lb., 5 lbs. and upwards, at $1.30 lb. 



"I want you to reserve me at least ten pounds of the same lot of Yellow Globe Danvers 

 Onion as you sent me last spring. I am an old onion grower, but never saw such fine results 

 from any crop before." O. H. Bennett, Chicago, 111. 



"If you send me as good seed of Yellow Globe Danvers Onion as you did last year. I don't 

 care if it costs $5.00 a pound. From the pound of seed I had from you I raised 87 bushels of as 

 fine Onions as I ever saw grown." James Marvin, Cumberland, \V. Va.
