HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



Hendersons 



Genuine Southport Globe Onions 



ARE ALMOST PERFECT GLOBE-SHAPED 

 LARGE, HEAVY AND SOLID. ENOR- 

 MOUS YIELDERS. 

 KEEPING QUALITIES UNSURPASSED. 



The most severe test of an Onion is that 

 which affects its keeping 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 respec- 

 tive 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 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. (See engraving also illustra- 

 tion on the Front Cover.)

"Took first prize on you. 

 Southport Yellow Globe Onion.

Henderson's Superior 



Yellow Globe Danvers Onion. 



A STANDARD VARIETY EVERYWHERE. 



There are many types of this Onion on the market 

 which vary greatly in shape. We have for many 

 years kept to the old type, which, but for a slight 

 depression from neck to root, is almost a perfect 

 sphere. The skin is a rich shining brownish yellow. 

 Its keeping qualities are excellent. It is free from 

 neck, very solid, and a fine keeper. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 26c. oz. ( 80c. M lb., $2.75 lb. (10 lbs. and 

 over $2.65 lb.) 



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

 of Yellow Globe Danvers Onions as you sent me last spring. I 

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

 crop before." O. H. BENNETT, Chicago, 111
