16 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 
Plendersons Genuine Southport Globe Onions. 
Are Perfect Globe—Shaped. 
Large, Heavy and Solid. 
Enormous Yielders. 
Keeping Qualities 
Unsurpassed. 
Southport Globe Onions 
have been grown by the same 
families in Connecticut for 
a long period of years. The 
constancy of the type may 
readily be understood when 
we state that one of our 
growers has supplied us with 
the same identical strains for 
forty years. 
These stocks produce crops 
so superior to those raised from 
western seed that they are 
beyond comparison. This dis- 
tinction has been maintained 
so constantly, and over so long 
a period, that we have entirely 
discarded the use of western 
seed in these sorts. 
NO HIGHER PRAISE CAN BE BESTOWED THAN IS CONTAINED IN 
THE EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS WHICH WE PRINT BELOW. 
Mr. Albert H. Marsh, Bradstreet, Mass., says ‘‘I saw a field of Onions that 
Mr. D. H. Wright grew, they were the best I ever looked on. He used 30 lbs. of 
your seed. His yellows yielded 1000 bushels to the acre, and his Reds 1150 bushels.” 
S. N. Bullis, Linesville, Pa., ‘I used your Southport Onion seed last year; ihey 
were the best Globe, and best yielders I ever saw."" John A. Knowles, Hariville, Ohio, 
““ Last year I raised over 900 bushels of Southport Yellow Globes from 4 lbs. of 
seed bought from you.’ Benj. Archer, Danbury, Conn., ‘‘ I raised the finest Globe 
Onions from seed I got of you, averaging 12} inches in circumference.’ Edward 
Eschrich, N. Milwaukee, Wis., says, ‘‘ Your Southport Globe Onions were the 
finest I ever grew. From one acre I got 850 bushels."" Herman Brickler, S. Mil- 
waukee, Wis., ‘‘ I cannot speak too highly of your Southport Globe Onions. From 
44 lbs. I got 825 bushels; the finest crop I ever grew.” 
These Onions require no description. The cut exactly indi- 
cates the shape. We need only add that the red is more strongly 
flavored—the white the mildest. |
