” From PETER HENDERSON & Co., NEW YORK 53 
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. — Se 
__ Im every respect they are excellent. The young plants provide delicious 
‘salad in spring. They may be used boiled or raw before maturity, or cured 
and kept through the winter and until the new crop is ready, thus supplying 
- the table the year round with a wholesome, health-giving food. : ; 
The most severe test of an Onion is that which effects its keeping quality. 
In this respect the Southport Globe Onions are supreme. 
Delicious in Flavor. ~ Perfect Globe-Shape. 
Henderson’s Southport Globe Onions 
(Large, Heavy and Solid 
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. 
The difference in the respective sorts is mainly one of color. They have 
the same shape, which is almost oval, excepting that they are somewhat 
larger towards the base, and so thoroughly have the tops been bred that, 
when dried off, they disappear entirely, leaving a perfect symmetrical bulb, 
shapely, proportionate, and quite devoid of neck, the-presence of which not 
only mars the appearance, but is a serious menace to the keeping quality. 
Henderson’s Southport White Globe Onion 
619. 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 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. (See engrav~

on large quantities. . z 5 
-Henderson’s Southport Red Globe Onion 
617. A most attractive variety of medium size, growing under 
ordinary conditions to a diameter of three 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. (See : 
engraving.)

~from your Southport Globe seed 
ever seen around here.”

Henderson’s Southport Yellow Globe Onion 
621. The very best strain of yellow Onion, the exterior color of which 
is generally esteemed. This color does not extend to the flesh, as in 
the red. 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.

. “The seeds I ordered from you were fine. We raised very fine onions, the best I 
ever ate, so am sending an order for more of the same kind.”’

“TI got 1,000 bushels to the acre of your Southport Yellow and Red Globe Onions. 
They were the finest I ever grew. I took first prize at the Minnesota State Fair 
in September just passed.» ~

Merriam Park, Minn. 
“I raised four bushels of Globe Onions from an ounce of your seed 
last year in the Green Mountains altho it was wet and rainy all 
summer,’ ~

Onion. They were the largest and Jinest onions

Superior Onion Sets 
TOnion Sets we do not deliver free. Purchaser pays 
transportation. Onion sets weigh 1 Ib. per quart. 
For Parcel Post Zone rates see page 2. 
In private gardens 
the cultivation of the 
family supply of On- 
ions from sets has 
much to recommend 
it. The amount of la- 
bor involved is less, the 
danger of loss from maggots 
and other insects is consider- 
ably reduced, the crop is 
surer to grow, and is ready 
for use weeks in advance of 
that grown from seed. On a 
small scale where the cost 
of sets is not a serious item 
we urge customers to use 
them. In fact the ideal 
way 1s to use both sets and 
seed—the sets for use in 
the spring and summer, 
and seed to grow bulbs for 
winter keeping.
