There is no vegetable in which the quality of the seed exerts a greater influence upon the crop than 

 in onions. Our stock is all grown from choice bulbs, selected by hand, and is unsurpassed in this 

 country. During our whole business career as seedsmen, it has always been our aim to make quality a 

 first consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with greater reward than in 

 onions. 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. To grow large onions from seed, 5 pounds to the acre; to grow 

 small sets, 50 to 60 pounds to the acre are required. For full information for culture, storage and mar- 

 keting onions and onion sets, see our New Leaf let = Essays on this subject, which will be sent free with 

 till orders for onion seed, when requested. 



Not for several years have we had such a good crop of fine plump, high 

 germinating onion seed as in 1911. We are, therefore, able to make 

 unusually favorable prices.

These are new true globe onions of the finest 

 and most select type, so called to distinguish them 

 from all other stocks of red and white globe on- 

 ions, differing in earliness, productiveness, perfec-

 reports of customers and our trials with them, we 

 believe them to be the onion of the future for the

Southport Globe Onions 



Johnson's Superior Connecticut=Grown Seed 



There is a marked superiority in the Eastern- 

 grown types of the Globe Onions, commonly known 

 as the Southport strains, over the Western-grown 

 types. That our seed of these important varieties 

 is from highly bred and carefully selected types is 

 attested by the numerous letters we have received 

 from the most critical onion growers.
