ONION 



Famous Prizetaker 



Magnificent in Size — Delightfully Mild in Flavor — A Matchless Keeper — 

 Succeeds in All Sections of the U. S. 



fil ^ Prizetaker is at once the largest and most handsome of all American 



Onions, and is renowned everywhere. 



It grows as easily as any other sort, and can be used for all purposes — the 



young plants as salad, the half grown bulbs in early summer, and the perfect, 



mature Onion practically at all times, for it keeps so well that it may be used 



almost the year round. Soon after ;s introduction, it was exhibited in London. 



and in the keenest competition wi the products of the most skilful growers. 



earned an "Award of Merit" from the Royal Horticultural Society of England 



Not only does it grow to a large size, but uniformly so. The shape is true globe, 



broad at the base, tapering sharply at the top. 



It is so well-bred that the tops dry down entirely when it ripens leaving a 

 a clean, sound bulb, perfect in form, rich in color and wonderfully solid. 

 The outer skin is rather pale yellow, the flesh pure white throughout. 

 It is extremely mild in flavor, very much esteemed for slicing, 

 baking and boiling, in fact, in whatever way it is prepared it is 

 unsurpassed. (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 10c; oz., 40c:

CULTURE— One 



oz. for 100 feet of drill '.; 

 five to six lbs. in drills 

 for an acre. For an 

 early crop, seed may be sown in cold-frames in February or 

 March, transplanting when large enough to handle in April or 

 May Regular open-ground sowing should be made about the 

 latter pat of April or early May in latitude of New York, in 

 soil that has been manured the previous year. Sow about one- 

 half inch deep in rows one foot apart, and thin out to th r ee inches 

 apart in the rows. Weeds in the rows should be removed by hand 

 If ground is liable to be weedy, it is well to sow a little radish 

 with the onion seed — to mark the row. 



HENDERSON'S 

 Southport Globe Onions 



Perfect Globe-Shape. Large, Heavy and Solid. 

 Perfect Keepers 



Thereare 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. 



Years of selection, in which every bulb used for seed pur- 

 poses 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 most severe test of an Onion is that which effects its 

 keeping quality. In this respect the Southport Globe Onions 

 are supreme. 



Southport White Globe 



gl Q 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 at- 

 tractive 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 illustration.) Price, 

 pkt. 15c; oz.. 50c; l i lb., $1.50; lb.. $5.00. Transportation 

 paid. Special price on larger quantities. 



Southport Yellow Globe 



fJ21 Tne verv ,)est 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. (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 10c; oz., 30c: 

 ] 4 lb.. 90c; lb, $3.00. Transportation paid. Special price 

 on larger quantities. 



Southport 

 Red Globe 



gj 7 A most attractive variety 

 of medium size, growing 

 und>r ordinary conditions to a 

 diameter of 3 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 yel- 

 low, and preferred by many for 

 this reason. Price, pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 35c; Ji lb $1.00; lb. $3.50. 

 Transportation paid. Special 

 price on larger quantities.
