HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Yellow Globe Danvers 



Onion 



Attractive, Uniform Shape Mild, But Full Flavored 



Quick to Mature Remarkably Good Keeper 



This is one of the oldest American varieties, which takes its 

 name from the town near which it was first grown, and has 

 always been a general favorite. Its keeping quality is supreme- 

 ly good. With this exception it cannot be said to excel greatly 

 in any one particular, but it is so constantly good in all re- 

 spects, that it is fully equal to any, and is esteemed by many 

 as the one best all around Onion, so that the majority of those 

 who grow only one sort choose Yellow Globe Danvers. There 

 is a considerable variation in the shape of this variety as 

 offered by various houses — shapes that vary from flat to deep 

 oval. We have consistently adhered to the original type, 

 which, but for a slight depression from top to bottom, is a 

 perfect sphere. The matter of tops has had close attention, 

 and are so bred that at maturity they disappear entirely, 

 leaving the bulbs quite without neck, clean, solid and good 

 throughout. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 30c. oz., 

 85c. H lb., $3.00 lb. 



White Portugal or Silver 

 Skin Onion 



This is beyond doubt the very best Onion for general use 

 during the spring, summer and autumn. We do not esteem 

 it so highly for winter use, as it is excelled by other sorts for 

 keeping purposes. But it is so excellent in every other respect 

 that we urge every gardener to make a liberal sowing of 

 White Portugal for continuous use, leaving the crops in- 

 tended for keeping purposes intact. There are none that 

 yield more delicious "scallions," or young plants for salad 

 purposes, none which are more suited to boiling during the 

 growing season, and none so generally esteemed for their 

 mild, delightful flavor. Should there be any small bulbs 

 left in the row at the end of the season they may be 

 used for pickles. Always, under all conditions, it is 

 appetizing and wholesome. (See engraving.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. H lb., $3.00 lb. 



" We like your While Portugal very much for a summer 

 Onion. It grows quickly and is mild and lender either 

 boiled or sliced." 



Mrs. J. P. VOORHEES. Plain field, N. J. 

 " I received last year the First Prize for my Red Wethers- 

 field Onions at our Agricultural Fair. I am planting 2 lbs. 

 of your seed this year." 



M. A. RE AND, Norwalk, Conn. 

 "I like your stock of Large Wethersfield Onions better than 

 any other. I feel confident when I plant as I know it will always 

 produce a good safe crop." 



JAS. BEASLY, Duluth, Minn. 



■"Your Red Wethersfield Onion is O.K. Can't be beat. I 

 raised a big crop from little seed." 



JNO. J. STEPHENS, 64 Buck St., Huntington, Ind. 

 " The Red Wetherfield Onion is well named as it matured 

 early and kept splendidly."
