These highly-bred and critically-selected types of'Southport Glolie Onions" are so superior 

 in shape, size, solidity and yield to the onions raised from California strains that Tre have 

 discarded all western-grown seed, our customers and ourselves having proven it economy 

 to use Henderson's Connecticut-grown Globe Onion Seed — even at the higher price.

"I must say 1 can -find no other seed that can anywhere 

 near equal your Southporl Onions. I pet a better yield, 

 by 200 bushels per acre, and they are larger, better globe 

 shape and better keepers, and can get Inc. to 20c. per 

 bushel more for them than for other onions. I raised 

 over 10,000 bushels this year."

 splendid and without any mixture whatever."
