 SUPERIOR -*- 



SOUTHPORT GLOBE ONIONS 



RED, WHITE 

 YELLOW. 



Perfect Globe Shape. Large, Heavy, and Solid. Enormous Yielders. Keeping Qualities Unsurpassed. 



Must say I can find no other seed that can anywhere near equal your South 

 port Onions. I get a better yield by 200 bushels per acre, and they are larger, 

 better globe shape and better keepers, and can get 15c. to 20c. per bushel more for 

 them than for other Onions. I raised over 10,000 bushels this year and am getting 

 ail the best Onion trade in this section." 



S. N. BULLIS, Produce Grower, Linesville, Pa. 

 " / grew about 2,000 bushels of your White GLOBE ONIONS this year. I 

 got as high as 900 bushels to the acre, all beautiful Onions. I will want a con- 

 siderable quantity of pure WHITE GLOBE eastern-grown seed, just like the seed 

 you sent me last spring. It was splendid and without any mixture whatever." 



JAMES McVITTY, Perry, Ohio. 

 " I think your Southport Yellow Globe Onion Seed is entitled to more prom- 

 inence in your catalogue. It is the best strain of Onions in this country to-day. 

 On 5 acres of ground I grew 5,186 bushels cf sound Gnlons. I hope you will 

 send me the same this year. I don't ask you to bid on poor seed." 



JAS. H. FRANCK, Market Gardener, Kingston, Pa. 

 " My patch of Southport Red Globe Onion is causing lots of comment among 

 the neighbors: all agree that nothing better was ever grown in this section."

""THESE are the largest and handsomest of the American 

 1 Onions, being of almost perfect globe shape, heavy, solid 

 big yielders and splendid keepers, with fine white-grained 

 flesh. There is such a marked superiority in the Eastern- 

 grown types of the Globe Onions, (commonly known as the 

 Southport strains,) over the Western-grown types that we have 

 discarded the latter, as it is economy to use Eastern seed even at 

 a higher price. That our seed of these important varieties is 

 from highly bred and most carefully selected types is attested by 

 the numerous commendatory letters we received from critical 

 Onion growers, a few samples of which we print in preceding 

 column. (See cut.)

HENDERSONS SUPERIOR 



YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. 



A STANDARD VARIETY EVERYWHERE. 



Shape round and uniform, not "necky." Bright attractive color, 

 mild flavor, fine quality. Early, but sure keeper. Heavy cropper, 

 good celler. More extensively grown than any other Onion. 



"T*HIS is probably the finest all-around onion grown. The 

 ' enormous quantities annually shipped to market prove its 

 popularity, and it is more largely grown than any other 

 variety. We take unusual precautions to maintain the highest 

 degree of perfection in our stock, and can confidently claim 

 superiority for it. The shape is round, a little depressed at 

 top and bottom. The color is rich brownish-vellow, making 

 a most attractive bulb. It is medium in size, but remarkably 

 solid and heavy, producing as much weight per acre as any 

 variety grown. It can be used to great advantage from the 

 earliest date to the last, as it is one of the surest keepers. (Set 

 cut.) Price, 20c. oz., 65c. { lb., $2.30 lb., 10 lbs. and upwards, 

 at 52.20 lb. 



" / want you to reserve me at least ten pounds of the same lot of Yellow Globe 

 Danvers Onion as you sent me last spring. I am an old Onion grower, but never 

 saw such fine results from any crop before." 



O. H. BENNETT, Chicago. IU.
