H enderson-s SOUTHPOFVT GLOBE ONIONS 



PERFECT GLOBE^SHAPE 



LARGE, HEAVY AND SOLID 



BEST KEEPERS 



There are no Onions to compare with the famous Connecticut product, long 

 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 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 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 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, pro- 

 portionate, and quite devoid of neck, the presence of which not only mars the 

 appearance, but is a serious menace to the keeping quality.

 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. (See cut.) (Connecticut grown seed.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. \i lb., $2.00 lb. 



"/ saw some fields 

 of Onions that my 

 neighbor Mr. I. H. 

 Wright grew, and 

 they were the best I 

 ever saw. He told 

 me that Henderson's 

 Southport Red Globe 

 Seed yielded him 

 1150 bushels to the 

 acre. Please fill the 

 enclosed order."

 SOUTHPORT 



White Globe Onion 



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 cut.) (Con- 

 necticut grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 80c. % lb., $2.80 Ibt 



HENDERSON'S SOUTHPORT 



Yellow Globe Onion 



I'he 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 any one 

 where Onions will grow, and is probably the best 

 of all for general use. (See cut.) (Connecticut 

 grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 

 Y± lb., $2.00 lb. 



"/ got 1,000 bushels to the acre of your Southport 



Yellow Globe and Red Globe Onions — the finest I ever 



grew. I took first prize on both yellow and red Onions 



■with them against all competitors at the Minnesota 



Stale Fair in September just passed. I won prizes 



with vegetables from your seed to the value of 



$125.00." JOHN A. GANTZER.

HENDEKSON'S 

 Connecticut Grown Seed 



Notwithstanding the fact that seed of the 

 Southport Globe Onions is largely grown 

 in California and sold at a lower price, 

 we do not use it, as the crops grown from 

 that seed are uniformly inferior in color, 

 form and size. Not only in the U. S. 

 but throughout the world our Connecti- 

 cut grown Southport Globe Onions are 

 acknowledged superior to any. Many 

 of the most exacting specialists in 

 K Europe send to us annually for 

 these stocks, frankly conceding 

 their superiority
