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 affects 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 which not only mars the appearance, but is a serious menace to the keeping quality. 



Henderson's Southport White 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.) (Con- 

 necticut grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.20 % lb., $8.00 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 ia 

 faintly tinged with the same color. It is a 

 little stronger than the white and yellow, and 

 preferred by many for this reason. (6'ec

 6eed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., 

 $6.00 lb. 



' r We have the finest field of 

 onions from your Southport 

 Globe seed ever seen around

Henderson's Connecticut Grown Seed 



Notwithstanding the fact that seed of the Southport Globe Oniona 

 is largely grown in California and sold at a lower price, we do not 

 use it, as the crops grown from that seed are uniformly inferior in 

 color, form and size. Not only in the U. S. but throughout the 

 world our Connecticut grown Southpoit Globe Onions are acknowl- 

 edged superior to any Many of the most exacting specialists in 

 Europe send to us annually for these stocks, frankly conceding their 

 superiority. 



Henderson's Southport Yellow Globe Onion 



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



is generally esteemed. Tlus color does not extend to the flesh, aa 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.

"The seeds I ordered in 1916 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, 

 Jan. 25, 1917. Flinlville, Tenn. 



"I took 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, 

 March 10, 1917. ' Nesbit, Neb. 



"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 Minnesota Slate 

 Fair in September just passed."

Sets 



In private gardens 

 the cultivation of the 

 family supply of On- 

 ions from sets has 

 much to recommend it, 

 The amount of labor in- 

 volved k Jess, 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 coat 

 of sets is not a serious 

 item, we urge customers 

 to use them. In fact the 

 ideal way is to use both 

 sets and seed — the sets 

 for use in the spring and 

 summer, and seed to 

 grow bulbs for winter 

 keeping.
