The Best Onions Offered to 

 the American Public 



I take great pride in my special pedigree 

 strains of Southport Onions. Our seed has 

 been developed by starting in over ten years 

 ago with one perfect Onion of each variety, 

 and none have been planted unless they have 

 all the necessary requirements of the true 

 type. The Onions are almost perfectly globe- 

 shaped, with thin necks and clear skins.

GLOBE-SHAPED ONIONS 



ABE THE FUTURE ONIONS 



They are the most attractive in appearance 

 and most economical in use. They command 

 the highest price in market. They are more 

 profitable than the flat varieties to grow, as 

 they occupy no more room in a row, but weigh 

 more and measure better. Onions harvested 

 in September keep perfectly sound and mer- 

 chantable until the following June. 



SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE 



Pedigree Seed 



This is the handsomest of all Onions. We could fill pages with praise from our 

 enthusiastic customers who have_ grown this grand variety. It is of true globe form, 

 pure white, hard, small necked, ripening regularly and evenly; a splendid keeper. The 

 flesh is firm and fine grained, and mild to taste. Average yields of 500 to 700 bushels 

 per acre are of frequent occurrence. No market gardener or onion grower can afford 

 to plant inferior stock, with only cheapness of price to recommend it, when seed like 

 ours is to be had so reasonable, the results of planting a few ounces often paying many 

 times the first cost of the best seed.

V SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE 



Pedigree Seed 



The celebrated Blood-Red Globe Onion. This variety has for many years proved 

 one of the most profitable for the market and shipping trade, commanding uniformly 

 good prices in car-load lots. It is of large size and splendid appearance, and frequently 

 Sields from 600 to 800 bushels per acre under average culture. It is an Onion of unusual 

 merit. Flesh is firm, finely grained, very rich, yet unusually mild for a red Onion, and 

 is sure to please the most-fastidious. The crop is ready to harvest in early Fall, and 

 keeps well until the late Spring months. No one that I have ever known has been 

 disappointed with the results obtained bv planting this great Onion.
