PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



Henderson s 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. 



These Onions require no de- 

 scription. The cut exactly in- 

 dicates the shape. We need only add that the red is more ' 

 strongly flavored — the white the mildest. 



In the test affecting keeping quality, the Connecticut grown 

 Southport Globe Onions are supreme. Years of careful selec- 

 tion in which all doubtful bulbs have been rejected, have had a 

 permanent effect, and they are today beyond doubt the best of 

 all keeping onions. (See engraving.)
