Perfect Globe Shape, 

 Enormous "Yielders, 

 Splendid Keepers. 



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 

 Western types, as it is economy 

 to use the Eastern seed even at 

 a considerably 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.

 splendid keeper, and a big yielder, averag- 

 ing under good culture from 800 to 1,000 

 bushels per acre. Our strain of this seed 

 is absolutely unsurpassed, being grown by 

 experts from bulbs critically selected for 

 largest size, solidity, brilliant rich color 

 and typical globe shape, with small necks, 

 thus insuring thorough and regular ripen- 

 ing and curing. Price (Genuine Connecti-

 SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE ONION. SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE, ONION. 



The most beautiful Onion grown, being 

 of symmetrical globe shape with a smooth 

 satin-white skin, forming a perfect silver 

 ball. It grows to a large size, averaging 

 7$ to 9 inches in circumference, and is solid 

 and heavy; the flesh is purest white, close 

 and fine grained, mild and of delicate flavor. 

 It is a heavy cropper, yielding under good 

 culture up to 900 bushels per acre. Our 

 strain of this seed is grown from picked 

 thin-necked bulbs, which ripen so uniform- 

 ly and cure so thoroughly that the Onions 

 keep nearly as well as the Red and Yellow 

 varieties. For the family garden, as well as 

 for market, this is a valuable Onion. Price

This is one of the most satisfactory and 

 popular varieties raised, either for family 

 use or for market. It is an enormous 

 yielder, hardy and reliable, making, under 

 good conditions, often up to 1,000 bushels 

 per acre. The onions are models of per- 

 fection, growing uniformly deep and 

 globular in shape, veritable globes of gold, 

 and are extra large, averaging 9 to 10 

 inches in circumference ; the color of the 

 skin is an attractive light golden-yellow; 

 the flesh snow-white, firm, mild and juicy. 

 The small necks of this superior strain 

 enable the onions to ripen down evenly, 

 insuring unsurpassed keeping qualities.
