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



Henderson's Genuitie 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. 



NO HIGHER PRAISE CAN BE BESTOWED THAN IS CONTAINED IN 

 THE EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS WHICH WE PRINT BELOW. 



Mr. Albert H. Marsh, Bradsireel, Mass., says " I saw a field of Onions thai 

 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; they 

 were the best Globe, and best yielders I ever saw." John A. Knowles, Hartville, 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 fittest Globe 

 Onions from seed I got of you, averaging 12J 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., " ] cannot speak too highly of your Southport Globe Otiions. From 

 4i lbs. J 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. 



In the test affecting keeping quality, the Southport Globe 

 Onions are supreme. Years of careful selection 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.
