SOUTHPORT 

 YELLOW 

 GLOBE. 



THE SOUTHPORT GLOBE ONIONS. 



The Southport Onions have increased wonderfully in public favor during the last five 

 or six years, and they well deserve their popularity, in almost all markets they will 

 Invariably bring top prices. They are not ouly of handsome appearance, remarkable 

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

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

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

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

 passed, if equalled, in this country. This year there is nearly a full crop, with the 

 exception of White Globe, and I have reduced my prices; so much so that I expect to 

 be sold out long before the seasin is over. 



SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE.— seven or eight years ago my annual sales of this variety 

 did not exceed 500 pounds; today the demand runs into the thousands. In single dis- 

 tricts in New York and Ohio, I frequently ship 1,000 pounds of this red globe onion 

 annually. It is a perfect globe, skin being of a rich glossy red; flesh fine grained, white 

 and always mild and pleasant. Like other Southport onions it is very hardy and a 

 splendid keeper. On my trial grounds at Briar Crest last season, it showed up the best 

 of any of the Red Globes, and was the admiration of every one who took the pains to 

 critically examine my onion trials. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.75. 



SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE.— This onion, on account of its handsome appear- 

 ance, alwa3 r s brings top prices in the New York City markets. It is silvery white in 

 color, globe shaped in form, flesh of delicious flavor, and a fine keeper. My strain of 

 Southport White is equally as desirable as that of the Southport Red and Yellow Globe. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 35 cents; % pound, $1.00; pound, $3.25. 



SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE.— This is of the same general character as the 

 two varieties described above, except the skin is a rich yellow, flesh of course being 

 pure white, and of a mild and delicious flavor. It is one of the most popular of the 

 Yellow Globe onions, and my annual sales run into thousands of pounds. These three 

 varieties of Southport Globe onions, I have carefully bred up for years, so that I am 

 sure all my friends who entrust their orders for these onions to me, will be highly 

 delighted with their crop and the price they secure for same next fall. Bear in mind 

 that all three of these Southport onions ripen very evenly, and on this account particu- 

 larly are wonderful keepers. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; 14 lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



H. C. Tuller & Son, Cordova, 111.— I 

 take this opportunity of telling you of 

 the luck we had with your New Com- 

 mercial Onion. We have harvested 

 700 bushels of the prettiest onions you 

 ever saw. so nice that we are crating 

 them all for next spring's trade. They 

 were grown on an acre of ground, 

 from 4 pounds of seed; I think they 

 ""■ as large as Prizetaker. 



Mrs. D. B. Hostetter, Gap, Pa.— 

 Last year we got 3 pounds of Prize- 

 taker Onion seed from you, and raised 

 295 bushels of as fine onions as you 

 ever saw; they kept fine for us, too, 

 and we have the half of them yet. 

 Also sent to you for 2} a pounds for 

 another party, and he raised 240 bush- 

 els fine, large onions. 



Ohio 



Yellow Globe 



Onion. 



Until very recently 

 this onion has only been 

 known to a limited 

 extent in parts of the 

 State of Ohio, where it 

 has long been consid- 

 ered one of the best of 

 Globe onions. It is of 

 handsome bright, even 

 yellow color, with small 

 neck. Ripens early and 

 all at once; the firm, 

 solid bulbs are excellent 

 winter keepers. It is re- 

 ported that 8(10 bushels 

 of Ohio Yellow Globe 

 onions have been grown 

 on a single acre of good 

 land. It is especially 

 recommended for heavy 

 muck land on account 

 of its early maturing 

 qualities. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 20 cts.; % lb., 50 

 cts.; lb., $1.75.

RED GLOBE WETHERSFIELD ONION. 



neon. 



This handsome 

 red globe onion 

 has become very 

 popular in the 

 Northwest. Hay- 

 ing had a num- 

 ber of calls for 

 it, I grew a sup- 

 ply of the seed, 

 and in 1904 

 offered it for the 

 first time to my 

 customers. It is 

 the old reliable, 

 large Red Weth- 

 ersfield bred to a 

 globe shape, and 

 while I do not 

 consider it su- 

 perior to South- 

 port Red Globe, 

 m y customers 

 will not make a 

 mistake by giv- 

 ing it a trial 

 this season. 

 Packet, 10 cts.;
