HESE highly-bred and critically-selected types of Southport Globe Onions are so superior in shape, size, solidity and yield 

 to the onions raised from California strains that we have discarded all western-grown seed, our customers and ourselves 

 having proven it economy to use Henderson's Connecticut-grown Globe Onion Seed — even at the higher price : : :

Red Globe Onion. 



(CPJMSON GLOBE.) 



A HANDSOME Onion of immense size, 

 averaging 9 to 10 inches in circum- 

 ference, solid, heavy and of perfect globe 

 shape ; the skin is of a glossy deep pur- 

 plish-red color; flesh close-grained, spar- 

 kling white, cooking tender and mild. It 

 is hardy, a splendid keeper, and a big 

 yielder, averaging under good culture from 

 800 to 1,000 bushels per acre. Our strain 

 of this seed is absolutely unsurpassed, 

 being grown by experts from bulbs criti- 

 cally selected for largest size, solidity, 

 brilliant rich color and typical globe 

 shape, with small necks, thus insuring 

 thorough and regular ripening and curing.

White Globe Onion. 



SILVER GLOBE.) 



THE most beautiful Onion grown, being 

 of symmetrical globe shape with a 

 smooth satin-white skin, forming a per- 

 fect silver ball. It grows to a large size, 

 averaging 7 1 2 to 9 inches in circumfer- 

 ence, and is solid and heavy; the flesh 

 is purest white, close and fine grained, 

 mild and of delicate flavor. It is a heavy 

 cropper, yielding under good culture up 

 to 900 bushels per acre. Our strain of 

 this seed is grown from picked thin-necked 

 bulbs, which ripen so uniformly and cure 

 so thoroughly that the Onions keep nearly 

 as well as the Red and Yellow varieties. 

 For the family garden, as well as for mar- 

 ket, this is a valuable Onion. Price (Gen-

"If you send me as good White Globe Onion Seed 

 as you did last year I don't care if it costs S5.00 a 

 pound, for I raised the finest onions ever grown from 

 the seed I got of you last year."

Yellow Globe Onion. 



(GOLDEN GLOBE.) 



"THIS is one of the most satisfactory and 

 popular varieties raised, either for 

 family use or for market. It is an 

 enormous yielder, hardy and reliable, 

 making, under good conditions, often up 

 to 1,000 bushels per acre. The onions are 

 models of perfection, growing uniformly 

 deep and globular in shape, veritable 

 globes of gold, and are extra large, aver- 

 aging 9 to 10 inches in circumference; 

 the color of the skin is an attractive light 

 golden-yellow; the flesh snow-white, firm, 

 mild and juicy. The small necks of this 

 superior strain enable the onions to ripen 

 down evenly, insuring unsurpassed keep- 

 ing qualities. Price (Genuine Connet
