The Southport Globe Onions 



ae Southport Onions have increased •wonderfully in public favor during the last eight 

 line years, and they well deserve their popularity. In almost all markets they will 

 irlably bring top prices. They are not only of handsome appearance, remarkable 

 dity and good keepers, but also fully equal in yield my best strains of other varie- 

 , 900 bushels to the acre from seed the tirst year being not unusual. For years I have 

 3n considerable pride in all three of the Southport Onions named below, and can 

 in perfect candor that my strain of each one of these globe onions cannot be sur- 

 ged, if equalled, in this country. 



444 Southport Red Globe 



m or eleven years ago my annual sales of this onion did not exceed 500 pounds; today 

 demand runs into the thousands. In districts in New York and Ohio, I frequently 

 ) 1,000 pounds of this red globe onion annually. It is a perfect globe, skin being of a 

 " : glossy red; flesh fine grained, white and always mild and pleasant. Like other 

 i thport onions it is very hardy and a splendid keeper. On my trial grounds at Briar 

 it last season, it showed up the best of any of the Red Globes, and was the admira- 

 . of every one who took the pains to critically examine my onion trials. 



Packet, 5 cents; onnce, 15 cents; J^ pound, 40 cents; pound, gl,50. 



445 Southport White Globe 



lis onion, on account of its handsome appearance, always brings top prices in the 

 •f York City markets. It is silverj' white in color, globe shaped in form, flesh of 

 cious flavor, and a fine keeper. My strain of Southport White is equally as desir- 

 ! as that of the Southport Red and Yellow Globe. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, HO cents; % pound, 60 cents; pound, $^.00. 



446 Southport Yellow Globe 



lis is of the same general character as the two varieties described above, except the 

 i is a rich yellow, flesh of course being pure white, and of a mild and delicious flavor. 



one of the most popular of the Yellow Globe onions, and my annual sales run into 

 isands of pounds. These three varieties of Southport Globe onions I have carefully 

 1 up for years, so that I am sure all my friends who entrust their orders for these 

 ms to me will be highly delighted with their crop and the price they secure for 



e next fall. Bear in mind that all three of these Southport onions ripen very 

 ily, and on this account particularly are wonderful keepers. 



Packet, .7 ceuts; ounce, 15 cents; ^ pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50.

An Excellent Exhibition Onion of Very Large Size 



;is mammoth onion is grown in England, where it originated, almost to the exclusion of 



ither sorts owing to its immense size, its handsome oval appearance, and its pungent 



> sweet and mild flavor. It is an excellent keeper for a large onion, a heavv yielder and 



rn for exhibition purposes perhaps more than any otber'varietv. Its attractive pale 



.V color, its productivity and large size make it a most desirable sort either for market or 



.1 iome garden, and bids fair to quickly rival in this countrv the popularitv it now enjoys 



11 ngland. To secure the largest onions seed should he sown in hot bed in the earlv Spring 



a. transplanted later to the open ground. Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 35 cents;
