HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 

 YELLOW GLOBE 



DANVERS ONION 



A STANDAKD VARIETY EVERYWHERE. 



Shape Round, Uniform, Not " Neckj'." Attractive Color. Mild Flavor. Fine 



Quality. Early, But Sure Keeper. Heavy Cropper. Good Seller. 



More Extensively Grown Than Any Other Onion. 



This is probably the finest all-round onion grown. The enormous 



quantities annually shipped to market prove its popularity, and it 



is more largely grown than any other variety. We take unusual 



precautions to maintain the highest degree of perfection in our 



stock, and can confidently claim superiority for it. The shape is 



round, a little depressed at top and bottom. The color is rich 



brownish-yellow, making a most attractive bulb. It is medium in 



size, but remarkably solid and heavy, producing as much weight 



per acre as any variety grown. It can be used to great advantage 



from the earliest date to the last, as it is one of the surest keepers.
