The Southport Globe Onions 



.■ ^i 



SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE ONION. 



Tbe Southport Globe Onions have increased -wonderfully in public favor during the 

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

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

 solidity and good keepers, but also fullj' 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. 



444 Southport Red Globe 



Several years ago my annual sales of this onion did not esceed 500 pounds; today 

 the demand runs into the thousands. In districts in New York and Ohio, I fi-equently 

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

 iich 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 admira- 

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



Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; '^ pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.S5< 



445 Southport White Globe 



This onion, on account of its handsome appearance, always 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 flne keeper. My strain of Southport White is equally as desir- 

 able as that of the Southport Red and Y'ellow Globe. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; '^ pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00> 



44S 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 Y'ellow 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 

 evenlj', and on this account particularly are wonderful keepers. 



Packet, 5 cents; oxince, 15 cents; \^ pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.35.

439 Ailsa Craig Onion 



An Elxcellent Elxhibition Onion of Very Large Size 



This mammoth onion is grown in England, where it origiuated, almost to the exclusion of 

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

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

 srown for exhibition purposes perhaps more than any other variety. Its attractive pale 

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

 the home garden, and bids fair to quickly rival In this country the popularity it now enjoys 

 in England. To secure the largest onions seed should be sown in hot bed in the early Spring 

 and transplanted later to the open ground. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, :iO cents; quarter pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.75, postpaid.
