Henderson's Southport Globe Onions 



Perfect Keepers. 



Delicious in Flavor. 



Perfect Globe-Shape. 



Large, Heavy and Solid. 



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. 



In every respect they are excellent. The young plants provide delicious 

 salad in spring. They may be used boiled or raw before maturity, or cured 

 and kept through the winter and until the new crop is ready, thus supply- 

 ing the table the year, round with a wholesome, health-giving food. 



The most severe test of an Onion is that which effects 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 ioday, 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 arc somewhat 

 larger towards the base, 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.

619. 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 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. (See engraving.) 



Price, 15c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 % lb., $5.00 lb. Special price 

 on large quantities. 



Henderson's Southport Red Globe Onion 



617. 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. 



(See engraving.) Price, 



10c. pkt., 40c. oz., 



$1.25 Yi lb., $4.00 lb, 



Special price on 



larger quantities. 



621. 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.

Henderson's Superior Onion Sets 



In private gardens the cultivation of the family supply of 

 Onions from sets has much to recommend it. The amount 

 of labor involved 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. On a small scale where the cost of sets 

 is not a serious item we urge customers to use them. In 



fact, the 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.
