ONIONS 



Henderson's Genuine Southport Globe 



PERFECT GLOBE-SHAPED LARGE HEAVY AND SOLID. ENORMOUS YIELDERS. 



The most severe test of an Onion is that which affects its keep- 

 ing quality. In this respect Henderson's Genuine 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 globe-shaped, and so thoroughly have 

 the tops been bred that, when dried off, they 

 disappear entirely, leaving a perfect sym- 

 metrical 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. (See 

 engraving.) 



"Your Southport Yellow Globe Onions were very good 

 last year. Commission men thought they were prize takers 

 in size. Largest Globes we have eve> seen in this section." 



WM. F. McCLOUD, Pueblo, Colo. 



"I harvested iooo bus. to the acre of your Southport Red 

 and Yellow Globe Onions — the finest I ever grew. I look 

 first prize on both yellow and red onions against all com- 

 petitors at Ihe Minnesota State Fair, also first prize for the 

 best collection of twenty varieties of vegetables which were 

 also grown from your seed." 



JOHN A. GANTZER, Merriam Park, Minn. 



Took first prize on your Southport Globe onions. They 

 were the largest and finest onions grown in this part of the 

 country. 



M. F. KELLY, Nesbit. Nebr. 



Red Globe 



THE RUN OF THE FIELD 

 NOTE THE PERFECT UNIFORMITY 



A most attractive variety of medium size, 

 growing under ordinary conditions to a di- 

 ameter 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 pre- 

 ferred by many for this reason. Price, 

 oz. 30c, \i lb. 90c, lb. $2.75. 



White Globe 



Viewed from every standpoint this is per- 

 haps 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. 

 Price, oz. 35c, \i lb. $1.10, lb. $3.75. 



Yellow Globe 



The very best strain of yellow Onion, the 

 exterior color does not extend to the flesh, as 

 in the red variety. 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. Price, oz. 30c, M lb. 90c, lb. $2.75. 

 Write for special price on large quantities.
