Henderson's New Sweet Spanish and New Express Globe Onions 



610 BARCELONA (S«e Colored Plate opposite) 



A Spanish Keeping Onion, Sparkling White, Mild Flavor 



We have named this novelty Barcelona because it is a selection 

 obtained from our famous onion, Espanola, although it is pure 

 silvery white in color, instead of pale golden yellow like its parent. 

 It is also more of a true globe shape. The outer skin is silver 

 white and the inside is sparkling white, of fine texture, mild 

 flavor and delicate tenderness. 



In sections where there is a long warm season and on soil that 

 is well tilled and rich, Barcelona will attain almost as large a 

 size as its parent Espanola. 



The Espanola and Barcelona onions are very popular, are in 

 all respects equal to the imported. They also* keep fairly well 

 for winter use but not quite equal in keeping qualities to the 

 Southport Globes or Danvers. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 75c; l A lb., $2.25. 



612 ESPANOLA (See Colored Plate Opposite) 



The Largest, Handsomest and Mildest Onion in the World 



Spanish Onions may be grown in any locality where onions 

 will grow, but under the best conditions of soil and climate 

 they will attain their maximum possibility in size. Under such 

 conditions, great crops of ideal Spanish Onions are produced that 

 will measure 4 to 6% inches in diameter, and weigh up to 2 X lbs. 

 each, equal in every respect to the imported onions. The skin of 

 Espanola is pale golden-yellow and the inside clear, cool white. 

 When transplanting the seedlings see that they are placed 6 

 inches apart to give the long roots ample feeding ground and 

 encourage rapidity of growth. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; Ji lb., $2.00; transportation paid. 



611 EXPRESS GLOBE (New) (See illustration on this page) 



The Earliest Onion in Cultivation. Stock Very Limited. 



This new variety is distinct from any other onion in cultivation, and as for earliness, it matures before even the earliest of the Bermuda 

 types. The bulbs are beautiful in appearance, light yellow in color, and medium in size; a trifle larger than the popular Yellow Globe 



Danvers. 



Express Globe is of Spanish origin and has the mild flavor of this type, 

 keeping. 



Price, pkt., 20c; 3 pkts., 50c; 1 oz., $1.00. 



On account of its tenderness it is not recommended for winter 



623 LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD 



This is a general favorite everywhere, and is largely grown both for 

 market and private use. It shapes up very quickly, insuring a good 

 supply during the growing season, while its keeping quality is equal 

 to the best. The exterior color is dark glossy red, and the flesh is faintly 

 tinged with the same color. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; X lb., 90c; lb., $3.00; transportation paid. 



625 WHITE BUNCH 



Of vigorous. growth, producing large, showy white Onions, of fine mild 

 quality, especially adapted for using when young. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz":, 40c; X lb., $1.00; lb., $3;50; transportation paid. 



627 WHITE PORTUGAL or Silver Skin 



This is beyond doubt the very best Onion for general use during the 

 spring, summer and autumn. We do not esteem it so highly for 

 winter use, as it is excelled by other sorts for keeping purposes. 



There are none that yield more delicious "scallions," or young 

 plants for salad purposes, none which are more suited to boiling during 

 the growing season, and none so generally esteemed for their mild, 

 delightful flavor. Should there be any small bulbs left in the row at 

 the end of the season they may be used for pickles. Always under all 

 conditions, it is appetizing and wholesome. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 45c; % lb., $1.25; lb., $3.75; transportation paid. 



629 YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS - 



There is a considerable variation in the shape of this variety — shapes 

 that vary from fiat to deep oval. We have consistently adhered to 

 the original type, which, but for a slight depression from top to bottom, 

 is a perfect sphere. The matter of tops has had close attention, and 

 are so bred that at maturity they disappear entirely, leaving the bulbs 

 quite without neck, clean, solid and good throughout. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; % lb., 90c; lb.. $3.00; transportation paid.
