Henderson’s Southport Globe Onions | 
Perfect Keepers. Delicious in Flavor. aD Globe-Shape. Large, Heavy and Solid 
There are no Onions to compare with the famous Connecticut product, Jong known as the Southport Globe Onions. They have been grown by the same — 
families over a long period of years. One of our growers has supplied us with the same identical strains for over forty years. 
In every respect they are excellent. The young plants prov ide delicious salad in spring. They may be used boiled or raw before maturity, or cured Bad 
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 affects 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 ares At 
towards the base, and so thoroughly have the tops been bred that, when dried off, they disappear entirely, leaving a perfect symmetrical bulb, Shaneve 
proportionate, and quite devoid of neck, the presence of which not only mars the appearance, but is a serious menace to the keeping quality. 
Henderson’s Southport White Globe Onion Henderson’s Connecticut Grown Seed —

Southport Globes, it is more attractive in appearance. The flesh © use it, as the crops grown from that seed are uniformly inferior in — 
when cooked is of a rich milky color, tender and of delicious flavor, _ color, form and size. Not only in the U. S. but thro whout the

superiority. 
Henderson’s Southport Yellow Globe Onions 
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.

Henderson’s Southport Red Globe Onion 
A most attractive variety of medium size, growing 
under ordinary conditions to a diameter 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 preferred by many for this reason.

Henderson’ s Superior Onion’ 
Sets 
In private gardens 
the cultivation of the 
family supply of On- 
ions from sets has 
much to recommend it. 
The amount of labor in- 
volved is less, the danger 
of loss from maggots and 
other insects is considerably 
reduced, the crop is surer to 
grow, and is ready for use 
weeks in advance of that _ 
grown from seed. Ona 
small scale where the cost — 
of sets is not a serious — 
item, we urge customers ~ 
to use them. In fact the ~ Sr 
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.
