Yellow Globe Danvers 



Attractive, Uniform Shape Mild, But Full Flavored 



Quick to Mature Remarkably Good Keeper 



fi29 Th ' s ' s one °* tne 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 

 supremely good. With this exception it cannot be said to excel 

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

 respects, 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 with- 

 out neck, clean, solid and good throughout. (See illustration.)

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 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. On a small 

 scale where the cost of sets is not a serious item, we urge cus- 

 tomers 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.

ONION 



White Portugal or Silver Skin 



Famous for Its Delicious "Scallions." The Best Onion 

 for General Use 



CO 7 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 others 

 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 

 intended 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, 

 ind 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 con- 

 ditions, it is appetizing and wholesome. (See illustration.)

Henderson's Superior Large 



Red Wethersfield 



A Leading Variety in all Sections — Produces Enormous Onions 

 Clean, Solid and Heavy. A Sure Cropper and Long Keeper 

 COO Those who prefer an Onion with an abundance of flavor 

 °"* > and who consider the extremely mild varieties insipid, 

 will be well satisfied with Wethersfield. Indeed, for boiling pur- 

 poses such highly flavored sorts are preferable, though they are gen- 

 erally considered less suitable for slicing in salads. This is a general 

 favorite everywhere, and is largely grown both for market and 

 private use. It shapes up very quickly, insuring a good supply dur- 

 ing the growing season while its keeping quality is equal to the best. 

 The exterior color is dark glossy red. and the flesh is faintly tinged 

 with the same color. Our stock is grown from the best bulbs and 

 cannot be excelled. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; V* lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50; transpor- 

 tation paid. Special price on large quantities.

frost is out of the ground.
