Magnificent in Size — Delightfully Mild in 

 Flavor — A Matchless Keeper — Succeeds in 

 All Sections of the U. S. 



Prize taker is at once the largest and most hand- 

 some of all American Onions, and is renowned 

 everywhere. 



It is so well-bred that the tops dry down entirely 

 when it ripens leaving a clean, sound bulb, per- 

 fect in form, rich in color snd 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 pre- 

 pared it is unsurpassed. (S-ee illustralion.)

HENDERSON'S FAMOUS SOUTHPORT GLOBE ONIONS 



Perfect Globe-Shape — Large — Heavy — Solid — Perfect Keepers 



There are 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 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. Southport Globe Onions are supreme in keeping quality. 



617 SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE 



A most attractive variety of medium size, growing under ordinary con- 

 ditions 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 yellow, and preferred by many for this reason. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; \i\h. 90c; lb. S'3.00; transportation paid. 

 Special price on larger quantities. 



619 SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE 



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 South- 

 port 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. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; V^lb. $1.25; lb. S3. 75; transportation paid. 

 Special price on larger quantities. 



621 SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE 



The very best 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. ' 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; M lb. 90c; lb. S3.00; transportation paid. 

 Special price on larger quantities.
