 Your Early Flat Red Onion Seed is ex- 

 cellent. Bottoms early and noscullions. 

 Send me the same this year." 



Thomas Gibby, Arcade, N. Y. 



H enderson's EXTRA EARLY FLAT RED. 



Remarkably Early. Good Keeper. Mild Flavor. Excellent for Home Gardens. 



This is one of Ihe best ali-rouud varieties, being useful either for boiling, slicing or pulling 

 young for use in salads. It is the earliest of the Ked American sorts. The color is not so deep 

 as Ked Wethersfield, and it is a little flatter in shape. It is valuable where earliness is a neces- 

 sity, and is a good keeper, 20c. oz., 45c. i lb., $1.45 lb , 10 lbs and over at $1 40 lb. 



ROUND YELLOW DANVERS. Very similar to our Yellow Globe Damns, differing 

 mainly in shape, being much flatter. It matures early, is a good keeper, is of good size, and 

 is an excellent sort for market as well as for general use. 15c. oz., 35c } lb., §1 00 lb , 10 

 lbs. and over, at 95c lb. 



PRIZETAKER. Has now been several years on the market and is recognized 

 as one of our best standard varieties. Its immense size wil. recommend it to all particularly 

 when it is known that its keeping qualities are good. The exterior color is pale yellow, and 

 the interior clear sparkling white. 20c. oz., 55c. "i lb., $1.70 lbilO lbs. and over at $1.60 lb ) 



h e mS y e|i °tf G| ° be Dan ^ rs - 



A Standard Variety Everywhere. 



Shape round and uniform, not " necky." Bright attrac- 

 tive color, mild flavor, fine quality. Early, but sure 

 keeper. Heavy cropper, good seller. More ex- 

 tensively grown than any other Onion. 



This is probably the fines! all-around sort grown. The enor- 

 mous quantities annually shipped to market prove its popularity, 

 and it is more largely grown than any other variety. We take 

 unusual precautions to maintain the highest degree of perfection 

 in our stock, and can confidently claim superiority for it. The 

 shape is round, a little depressed at top and bottom. The color 

 is a rich brownish yellow, making a most attractive bulb. It is 

 medium in size, but remarkably solid and heavy, producing as 

 much weight per aere as any variety grown. It can be used to 

 great advantage from the earliest date to the last, as it is one of 

 the surest keepers, and is delicious even when in its youngest 

 stage. (See Gut.) 15c. oz., 40c. i lb., $1.10 lb., 10 lbs. and 

 upwards at $1.00 lb. 



"I want you to reserve me at least ten pounds of the same lot of Yellow Globe 

 Danvers Onion as you sent me last spring. I am an old onion grower, but never 

 saw such fine results from any crop before. O. H. Bennett, Chicago 111.

HENDERSON S LARGE RED WETH- 

 ERSFIELD is a grand red variety and a gen- 

 eral favorite. With the exception of the 

 Yellow Globe Danvers, there is no variety so 

 largely grown. Our stock is excellent, being 

 saved from only carefully selected bulbs. The 

 cut gives an accurate idea of the shape. Our 

 stock will be found quite free from necky and 

 misshapen bulbs, and will invariably grow to 

 a large size under proper conditions. The 

 surface color is a rich dark red. It is an early 

 variety to mature and a fine keeper. The 

 flavor is good and mild, admirable for boiling. 

 (See Gut.) 15c. oz., 40c i lb., $1 30 lb., 10 

 lbs. and over, at $125 lb. 



"Please send me another pound of your Large Red 

 Weihersfield Onion. I wish to compete for the prize at 

 our fair, and want your seed or none." 



Adah Jones, Syracuse, N. Y. 



"The worth of the Peter Henderson Garden Seeds has 

 been emphasized many times already, but Mr. Henry 

 Murray, the South Side garden fancier, has just left at 

 Holmes & Band's four onions grown from the Henderson 

 seed, the combined weight of which is six pounds. There 

 is enough real onion in the four specimens to bieak up 

 forty love matches. Mr. Murray measured the ground 

 upon which ten bushels of these were raised and finds 

 that the yield was at the rale of over 1,100 bushels to the 

 acre." From "The Daily Capital," 



Frankfort, Ky 



"I like your stock of Large 

 Red Wethersfield Union belter 

 than any other. I feel confident 

 when I plant, as 1 know it will 

 always produce a good safe crop " 

 Jas. Beasley, Duluth, Minn.
