Henderson's Southport Globe Onions^ 



Perfect Keepers. Delicious in Flavor. Perfect Globe-Shape. Large, Heavy and Solid 



There are no Onions to compare with_ the famous Connecticut product 

 long known as the Southport Globe Onions. They have been grown by 

 the same families over a long period of years. One of our growers has 

 supplied us with the same identical strains for over forty years. 



In every respect they are excellent. The young plants provide delicious 

 salad in spring. . They may be used boiled or raw before maturity, or cured 

 and kept through the winter and until the new crop is ready, thus supplying 

 the table the year round with a wholesome, health-giving food. 



The most severe test of an Onion is that which effects its keeping quality. 

 In this respect the Southport Globe Onions are supreme. 



Years of selection, in which every bulb used for seed purposes has had 

 to pass the critical eye of veteran experts, have had no uncertain effect on 

 these, and they are today, beyond doubt, the best of all Onions. 



The difference in the respective sorts is mainly one of color. They have 

 the same shape, which is almost oval, excepting that they are somewhat 

 larger towards the base, and so thoroughly have the tops been bred that, 

 when dried off, they disappear entirely, leaving a perfect symmetrical 

 bulb, shapely, proportionate, and quite devoid of neck, the presence of 

 whioh not only mars the appearance, but is a serious menace to the keeping 

 quality. 



Henderson's Southport White Globe Onion Henderson's Southport Yellow Globe Onion 



Viewed from every standpoint this is perhaps the best Onion of all 

 for family use, for, while it is similar in some respects to the other 

 Southport Globes, it is more attractive in appearance. The flesh 

 when cooked is of a rich milky color, tender and of delicious flavor, 

 and when eaten raw is the mildest of the three. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., S1.40 M lb., $5.00 lb. 



Henderson's Southport Red Globe Onion 



A most attractive variety of medium size, growing under /-~-^ 

 ordinary conditions to a diameter of three inches. The outer 

 skin is a rich purplish-red, and the flesh is faintly tinged 

 with the same color. It is a little stronger 



than the white and yellow, and preferred L 



by many for this reason. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. }4 lh'> 

 $3.00 lb. 



"We have the finest field of onions 

 from your Southport Globe seed 

 ever seen around here." 



Mrs. ROBI N FORREST, 

 Pullman, Mich. 





The very best strain of yellow Onion, the exterior color of which 

 is generally esteemed. This color does not extend to the flesh, as in 

 the red. It is mild in flavor and may be grown by anyone where 

 Onions will grow, and is probably the best of all for general use. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt, 35c. oz., $1.15 J| lb., $4.00 lb. 



"I got 1,000 bushels to the acre of your Southport Yellow and Red Globe 

 Onions. They -were the finest I ever grew. _ I took first prize at the Minne- 

 sota Slate Fair in September just passed. 



JOHN A. GANTZER, 



Merriam Park, Minn. 



"The seeds I ordered from you were fine. We raised very fine onions, 

 the best I ever ate, so am sending an order for more of the same kind. ' ' 



NEAL H. WARREN, 



Flinlville, Tenn. 



'I look first prize on your Southport Globe Onion. They were 

 the largest and finest onions grown in this part of the country." 



Mrs. M. F. KELLY, 



Nesbit, Neb. 



"7 raised four bushels of Globe Onions from 

 an ounce of your seed last year in the Green 

 Mountains allho it was wet and rainy all 

 7 summer."

In private gardens 

 the ctiltivation of the 

 family supply of 

 Onions from sets has 

 much to recommend 

 it. The amount of labor 

 involved is less, the danger 

 of loss from maggots and 

 other insects is considerably 

 reduced, the crop is surer to 

 grow, and is ready for use 

 weeks in advance of that grown 

 from seed. On a small scale 

 where the cost of sets is not a 

 serious item, we urge cus- 

 tomers to use them. In fact 

 the ideal way is to use both 

 sets and seed — the sets for 

 use in the spring and sum- 

 mer, and seed to grow bulbs !< 

 for winter keeping.
