HENDERSON S 

 SUPERIOR SOUTHPORT 

 OLOBE ONION. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR RED, WHITE AND YELLOW 



SOUTHPOKT GLOBE ONIONS, 



This is the report that we received from one of our representa- 

 tives at the NAPANEE, (IND.) ONION CARNIVAL, Aug. 25, 1909. 



"This is a great day for Napanee and a great day for Peter 

 Henderson & Co. Onions from your seed won the GRAND 

 SWEEP STAKE PRIZE (Gold Medal) offered by the Association 

 for the best 12 onions at the show (any color) open to all com- 

 petitors. A beautiful bunch of Southport Yellow Globe, from 

 P. H. &Co.'s seed grown by Mr. Henry Jearls, of Kimmel, Ind., 

 Mr. Jearls also won 1st prize, $10.00 offered by the Association 

 for the best 12 Yellow Globes. Mr. Louis C. Stuckman of 

 Napanee, Ind., won 2nd prize with onions grown from P. H. & 

 Go's, seed." 



"ISpfrfor'^ YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. 



A STANDARD VARIETY EVERYWHERE. 



Shape roixid and uniform, not "necky." Bright 

 attractive color, mild flavor, fine quality. Early, 

 but sure keeper. Heavy cropper, good seller. 

 More extensively grown than any other Onion. 



This is probably the finest all-around onion grown. 

 The enormous quantities annually shipped to mar- 

 ket prove its popularity, and it is more largely 

 grown than any other variety. We take unusual 

 precautions to maintain the highest degree of per- 

 fection in our stock, and can confidently claim su- 

 periority for it. The shape is round, a little de- 

 pressed at top and bottom. The color is rich 

 brownish-yellow, making a most attractive bulb. It 

 is medium in size, but remarkably solid and heavy, 

 producing as much weight per acre as any variety 

 grown. It can be used to great advantage from 

 the earliest date to the last, as it is one of the 

 surest keepers. {See cut.) Price, 15c. oz., 45c. i lb., 

 $1.40 lb., 10 lbs. and upwards, at $1.35 lb. 



" I want you to reserve me at least ten pounds of the same 

 lot of Yellow Globe Danvers Onion as you sent me last spring. 

 I am an old onion grower, but never saw such fine results from any 

 crop before." O. H. BENNETT Chicago. III. 



PERFECT GLOBE SHAPE. LARGE, HEAVY, AND SOLID. 

 ENORMOUS YIELDERS. KEEPING QUALITIES UNSURPASSED. 



These highly-bred and critically-selected types of South- 

 port Globe Onions are so superior in shape, size, solidity and 

 yield to the onions raised from California strains that we have 

 discarded ail western-grown seed, our customers and our- 

 selves having proven it economy to use Henderson's Con- 

 necticut-grown Globe Onion Seed — even at the higher price. 



Handsome Onions of immense size, averaging 9 to 10 inches 

 in circumference, solid, heavy and of perfect globe shape; 

 flesh close-grained, sparkling white, cooking tender and mild. 

 They are hardy, splendid keepers and big yielders averaging 

 under good culture from 800 to 1,000 bushels per acre. Our 

 strain is absolutely unsurpassed, being grown by ex- 

 perts from bulbs critically selected for largest size, solidity, 

 color and typical globe shape, with small necks, thus insuring 

 thorough and regul'ar ripening and curing. {See cut.)
