Henderson's Southport Globe Onions 



Perfect Keepers. Delicious, in Flavor. Perfect Globe-Shape. .Large, Heavy and Solid 



There are no Onions to compare with the famous Southport Globe 

 Onions. They have been grown by the same growers for us for many 

 years and the high standard of quality has been fully maintained. 



In every respect they are N excellent. The young plants provide delicious 

 salad in spring. They may be used boiled or raw before maturity, or cured 

 and kept through the' winter and until the new crop is ready, thus supplying 

 the table the year round with a wholesome, health-giving food. 



The most severe test of an Onion is that which effects its keeping quality. 

 In this respect the 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 oval, excepting that they are somewhat 

 larger towards the base, 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.

619. Viewed from every standpoint this is perhaps the best Onion 

 of all for family use, for, while it 4s 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. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.40 }4 lb., $5.00 lb. 



Henderson's Southport Red Globe Onion 



617. A most attractive variety of medium size, growing under ■< 

 ordinary conditions to a diameter of three inches. The outer >y, 



skin is a rich purplish-red, and the flesh is faint lv__ " 



tinged with the same color. It is a iittle^^^ 

 stronger than the white and yellow, and y^}, 

 preferred by many for this reason. (See y . *

621. The very best strain of yellow Onion, the exterior color of which 

 is generally esteemed. This color does not extend to the flesh, as in 

 the red. 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.

'Onion Sets we do not deliver free. Purchaser pays 

 transportation. Onion sets weigh 1 lb. per quart. 

 For Parcel Post Zone rates see page 2. 



In private gardens 

 the cultivation of the 

 family supply of On- 

 ions from sets has 

 much to recommend 

 it. The amount of la- 

 bor involved is less, the 

 danger of loss from maggots 

 „iid other insects is consider- 

 ably reduced, the crop i3 

 surer to grow, and is ready 

 for use weeks in advance of 

 that grown from seed. On a 

 small scale where the cost 

 of sets is not a serious item 

 we urge customers to use 

 them. In fact the ideal 

 way is to use both sets and 

 seed — the sets for use in 

 the spring and summer, 

 and seed to grow bulbs for 

 winter keeping.
