PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE.

NOTICE: Onion seed crops suffered very much during the past summer months 

 from a disastrous attack of mildew, and seed of nearly all varieties is, consequently, 

 extremely scarce; the supply, in fact, is shorter than it has been for many years. Our 

 own stocks are exceedingly limited, and we are compelled to advance prices. Intending 

 customers are advised to order early to avoid disappointment. 



Henderson's Genuine SOUTHPORT GLOBE ONIONS 



PERFECT GLOBE-SHAPED LARGE HEAVY AND SOLID. ENORMOUS YIELDERS 



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

 this respect Henderson's Genuine 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 globe-shaped, and so thoroughly 

 have the tops been bred that, when dried off, they disappear entirely, leaving a per- 

 fect 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 keep- 

 ing quality. (5ee engraving.) 



Express Globe 



(A 1932 Introduction) The 

 Earliest Onion in Cultivation 



This new variety is distinct 

 from any other onion in cul- 

 tivation; 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 popu- 

 lar Yellow Globe Danvers. 



Express Globe is of Span- 

 ish origin and has the mild 

 flavor of this type. It will 

 prove valuable to the com- 

 mercial grower on account of 

 its extreme earliness and 

 beautiful appearance. It is, 

 of course, not recommended 

 for winter keeping. {See 

 engraving.) Price, oz. 70c., 

 M lb. $2.00., lb. $6.00. 



Southport Red Globe 



A most attractive variety of medium size, 

 growing under ordinary conditions to a di- 

 ameter of three 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 pre- 

 ferred by many for this reason. 



Price, oz. 40c., M lb. $1.25, lb. $4.25. 



10 lb. lots and upwards @ $4.00 lb. 



Southport White Globe 



Viewed from every standpoint this is per- 

 haps 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, oz. 50c., M lb. $1.50, lb. $4.75. 



10 lb. lots and upwards @ $4.50 lb. 



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, oz. 45c., H lb. $1.40, lb. $4.75. 

 10 lb. lots and upwards @ $4.50 lb.
