Southport Red Globe 
The onions from Southport, Conn., 
generally command an extra price 
in the New York markets, be- 
cause of their beautiful shape 
and color, due partly to the va- 
riety grown and partly to the 
favorable soil and extra care 
taken in handling the crop. 
This variety is of medium size, 
spherical, with small neck, very 
deep, rich red color, and of 
superior quality. We offer a 
strain of especially good qual- 
ity and much superior to that 
usually sold.

YELLOW GLOBE 
: _2 DANVERS 
The ideal Danvers onion was originally 
oval or nearly flat, and it has been thought 
by many that its small neck and splendid 
ripening habit could only be obtained in 
onions of that shape, but we have by careful 
selection and breeding, developed a strain 
having to a remarkable degree the ripening 
habit and small neck of the original Danvers,

clear white skin glistening like silver. A favorite with many 
for use when young as a salad or bunching onion, and for , 
pickles; it is also a good keeper and fine for fall and early | 
winter use. An excellent sort for gardeners who do not care 
to plant more than one variety. Pkt.5e; Oz. 25c; 20z.40c3

H Yields abundantly,producing handsome and 
White Globe uniformly globe shaped bulbs. The flesh is 
firm, fine grained, and of mild flavor. Sometimes called 
Southport White Globe. To produce the beautifully white 
onions so much sought after in every market, one must have, 
first of all, good seed. Second, grow them well on rich lands. 
Third, exercise great care in harvesting and curing the crop. 
In Southport they ‘‘cord” up the onions in long rows, the 
bulbs on the inside, and cover with boards so that the bulbs 
are well protected in the open air from rain or dew, which 
-would be sure to discolor them. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 80c; 2 Oz. 55¢;

The largest crops of on- 
ions are always produced 
on rich, black lands. On 
such soils it is found that 
a globe shaped onion gives 
the largest returns, and to 
meet the demands of the 
rofessional onion growers 
ocated on such lands, we 
have developed this variety. 
The bulbs are large and 
uniformly spherical, with 
very small necks; of arich 
orange-yellow color; enor- 
mous yielders and splendid 
keepers. No onion grower 
can afford to plant inferior 
seed when such as this 
can be procured.
