611 EXPRESS GLOBE (A 1932 Introduction) 



The Earliest Onion in Cultivation 



This new variety is distinct from any other onion in cultivation ; 

 and as for earliiiess, 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. It will prove valuable not only to the home gardener, 

 but also to the commercial grower on account of its extreme 

 earliness and beautiful appearance. It is, of course, not recom- 

 mended for winter keeping. 



Price, pk-t. 25c; 5 pkts. $1.00; transportation paid. 



613 PRIZETAKER 



Magnificent in Size — -Delightfully Mild in Flavor — A 

 Matchless Keeper — Succeeds in All Sections of the U. S. 



Prizetaker is at once the largest and most handsome of all 

 American Onions, and is renowned everywhere. 



It is so well-bred that the tops dry down entirely when it 

 ripens leaving a clean, sound bulb, perfect in form, rich in color 

 and wonderfully solid. The outer skin is rather pale yellow, the 

 flesh pure white throughout. It is extremely mild in flavor, 

 very much esteemed for slicing, baking and boiling, in fact, in 

 whatever way it is prepared it is unsurpassed. (See illustration.) 



Price pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; }4 lb. $1.25; lb. $4.00; transportation 

 paid. Special price on large quantities. 



HENDERSON'S FAMOUS SOUTHPORT GLOBE ONIONS 



Perfect Globe-Shape — Large — Heavy — Solid — Perfect Keepers 



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. 



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 doutft, the best of all Onions. 



The most severe test of an Onion is that which eff^ects its keeping quality. In this respect the Southport Globe Onions are supreme. 



617 SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE 



A most attractive variety of medium size, growing under ordinary con- 

 ditions to a diameter of 3 inches. 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. 35c; }^ lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50; transportation paid. 

 Special price on larger quantities. 



619 SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE 



Viewed from every standpoint this is perhaps the best Onion of all for 

 family use, for while it is similar in some respects to the other South- 

 port 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. 10c; oz. 50c; i^lb. $1.50; lb. $4.50; transportation paid. 

 Special price on larger quantities. 



621 SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE 



The very best strain of yellow Onion, the exterior color does not extend 

 to tlie 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. 10c; oz. 3Sc; M lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50; transportation paid. 

 Special price on larger quantities.
