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



HENDEKSON'S SUPERIOR RED, WHITE AND YELLOW 



SOUTHPORT GLOBE ONIONS 



"TPHESE highly-bred and critically-selected types "of Southport 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 ourselves having proven it economy to use Henderson's Connecticut- ^^^S 

 grown Globe Onion Seed — even at the higher price. :: :: :: :: :: :: :: 



PERFECT GLOBE SHAPE, LARGE, HEAVY, AND SOLID. 



Enormous Yielders, Keeping Qualities Unsurpassed. 



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 un- 

 surpassed, being grown by experts from bulbs critically selected 

 for largest size, solidity, color and typical globe shape, with small 

 necks, thus insuring thorough and regular ripening and curing.

Henderson's Southport White Glohe. 



HENDEKSON'S SUPERIOK 



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 ship- 

 ped 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 variety 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., 40c. { lb., 

 $1.20 lb., 10 lbs. and upwards, at $1.15 lb. 



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

 tot of Yellow Globe Danvers Onion as you sent me last spring. 

 J am an old onion grower, but never saw such fine results from 

 any crop before." O. H. BENNETT, Chicago, III.
