HENDERSON S 

 SUPERIOR SOUTHPORT 

 GLOBE ONION. 



WHAT GROWERS THINK OF 



Henderson's Southport Globe Onion Seed. 



" / 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 considerable 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. 



" / think your Southport Yellow Globe Onion Seed is entitled to 

 more prominence in your catalogue. It is the best strain of onions in 

 this country to-day. On five acres of ground I grew 5,186 bushels of 

 sound Onions. / 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 com- 

 ment among the neighbors; all agree that nothing better was ever grown 

 in this section." J. A. DENNIS, Philadelphia, Pa. 



"luperfo "' 5 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 seller. 

 More extensively grown than any other Onion. 

 This 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-yellow, making a most attractive 

 bulb. It is medium in size, but remarkably solid and 

 heavy, producing as much weight per acre as any vari- 

 ety grown. It can be used to great advantage from 

 the earliest date to the last, as it is one of the surest 

 keepers. {See cut.) Price, 15c. oz., 45c. \ lb., $1.40 lb., 

 10 lbs. and upwards, at $1.35 lb. 



I 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, III. 



RED— WHITE— YELLOW. 



PERFECT GLOBE SHAPE. LARGE, HEAVY, AND SOLID. 



ENORMOUS YIELDERS. KEEPING QUALITIES 



UNSURPASSED. 



These highly-bred and critically-selected types of South- 

 port Globe Onions are so superior in shape, size, solidity and 

 yield to the onions raised from California strains that we have 

 discarded all western-grown seed, our customers and our- 

 selves having proven it economy to use Henderson's Con- 

 necticut-grown Globe Onion Seed — even at the higher price. 



Handsome Onions of immense size, averaging 9 to 10 inches 

 in circumference, solid, heavy and of perfect globe shape; 

 flesh close-grained, sparkling white, cooking tender and mild. 

 They are hardy, splendid keepers and big yielders averaging 

 under good culture from 800 to 1,000 bushels per acre. Our 

 strain is absolutely unsurpassed, being grown by ex- 

 perts from bulbs critically selected for largest size, solidity, 

 color and typical globe shape, with small necks, thus insuring 

 thorough and regular ripening and curing. {See cut.)
