HENDERSON'S GENUINE 



Southport Globe Onions 



ALMOST 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 respect- 

 ive 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 

 perfect 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 keeping quality. (See engraving).

Henderson's Superior YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS ONION 



A STANDARD VARIETY EVERYWHERE 



There are many types of this Onion on the market which vary greatly in shape. 

 We have for many years kept to the old type, which, but for a slight depression from 

 neck to root, is almost a perfect sphere. The skin is a rich shining brownish yellow. 

 Its keeping qualities are excellent. It is free from neck, very solid and a fine keeper.

Henderson Famous PEA, PROSPERITY OX GRADUS 



THE EARLIEST AND LARGEST HIGHLY FLAVORED PEA GROWN 



The problem of good early Peas was finally and completely solved many years ago 

 when we introduced Prosperity. Some of our customers pick them as early as June 

 3d. Others have gathered Peas on May 26th, 55 days from the time of sowing. 



Prosperity should be planted a little thicker than other large-podded sorts, as the 

 vine is single stemmed and consequently occupies less room than the heavier growing, 

 branching varieties. This is one of its valuable features, for a large crop is produced 

 in a comparatively small space. The vines are three feet high, pale green in color; 

 the pods are borne singly and freely from top to bottom of the vine and contain from 

 six to nine Peas as large and as rich in flavor as the Telephone and weeks earlier. (See 

 engraving). Price, 50c. qt, $3.25 peck, $12.00 bush. 



TELEPHONE PEA 



The Standard Large Podded Late Pea. Delicious Quality. Enormous Pods. 



One of the oldest varieties grown. It has been on the market for nearly forty years 

 and is better today than ever before. The plant is about 5 feet high, and bears a 

 heavy crop of enormous pods well filled with large Peas of delicious quality, The vines, 

 while tall, are not heavv and require but little support. Price, 50c. qt., $3.25 peck, 

 $12.00 bush. 



NOTTS EXCELSIOR PEA 



Early, Big Cropper, Extra Fine Quality 



A distinctly American production of remarkably vigorous constitution, and enor- 

 mously productive. The pods are of good size, produced liberally, and are well filled 

 with excellent Peas of perfect quality. The plant is among the smallest, very rarely 

 exceeding 15 inches in height, and is easily grown. It still is, and long will be, extremely 

 popular. Many growers make repeated sowings for successive crops. Price, 45c. 

 qt., $2.75 peck, $10.00 bush.
