ONION 



611 EXPRESS GLOBE 



(See illustration.) 

 The Earliest Onion in Cul- 

 tivation and the Mildest- 

 Flavored of Any, 



This new variety is distinct 

 from any other onion in culti- 

 vation, and as for earliness, it 

 matures before even the earli- 

 est of the Bermuda types. The 

 bulbs are beautiful in appear- 

 ance, light yellow in color, and 

 medium in size. 



Express Globe is of Spanish ori- 

 gin and has the mild flavor of this 

 type. On account of its tender- 

 ness, it is not recommended for 

 winter keeping. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 75c; M lb.. S2.2S 

 transportation paid. 



, CULTURE.— One oz. for 100 jt. of drill; five to six lbs. in 

 drills Jor an acre. For an early crop, seed may be sown in 

 cold-frames in February or March, transplanting when large 

 enough to handle in April or May. Regular open-ground 

 sowing should be made about the latter part of April or early 

 May in latitude of New York, in soil that has been manured 

 the previous year. Sow about one-half inch deep in rows 

 one foot apart, and then thin out to three inches apart in the 

 rows. 



Clean cultivation and a regular weekly or bi-weekly 

 spraying schedule with Evergreen or Red A rrow (see pages 1 1 3 

 and 114) will control Thrip or white blast which is quite 

 prevalent some seasons and thus insure healthy perfectly 

 formed bulbs. 



HENDERSON'S FAMOUS GLOBES 



There are no Onions to compare with the famous South- 

 port Globe Onions. 

 Years of selection, in which every bulb used for seed purposes has had 

 to pass the critical eyes of veteran experts, have had no uncertain effect 

 on these, and they are today, bevond doubt, the best of all Onions They 

 are supreme in keeping quality. (See illustration.) 



617 SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE 



The outer skin is a rich purplish-red, and the flesh is faintly tinged 

 with the same color. It is a little stronger than the white and 

 yellow, and preferred by many for this reason. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; %\h., S1.2S; lb.,S4.00; transportation 

 paid. 



619 SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE 



This is perhaps the best Onion of all for family use, for, while it is 

 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. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 50c; % lb., $1.50; 

 lb., $4.50; transportation paid. 



621 SOUTHPORT YELLOW 

 GLOBE 



The very best strain of yellow Onion, the 

 exterior color does not extend to the flesh, 

 as in the red variety. 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. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 50c; X lb., S1.50;

 is out of the ground.
