MAY'S YELLOW Globe SOUTHPORT°a°o°B\' MAY'S WHITE GLOBE SOUTHPORTS? 
THIS YELLOW IS ONE OF the trio of Southport Onions, and is in 
every way the equal of the other two. It is the most satis- 
factory of the varieties ever used for home use or for market. It 
is hardy, reliable and an enormous yielder, often yielding looo 
bushels to the acre. The onions are uniformly deep and globular 
in shape; veritable globes of gold. They average 9 to 10 inches 
in circumference, with yellow skin and snow white flesh, firm, 
juicy and mild in flavor. They ripen down evenly and are of 
excellent keeping quality. We have had many recommendations 
from growers of this onion, 
and are sure that if you 
give this strain a trial we 
will receive your future 
orders for onion .seed

MAY'S RED Globe Southport i^i^r'^ 
HIS IS THE handsomest of all the red onions and of immense 
size, averaging 9 to 10 inches in circumference. 
It is solid, heavy, a perfect globe shape, 
which is uniform throughout the 
crop. It ripens evenly, about 
10 days after the Yellow 
Southport and 
yields the highest 
percentage of 
marketable 
onions, ri-

hard

and 
keeping 
well, 
the yield 
often being 
1000 bushels

The flesh is very 
close grained and spark- 
ing, cooking tender and 
mild and its glossy, purplish-red 
color makes it so beautiful that it al- 
>\ ways commands the best price on the 
market. No crop depends more directly on ^ 
the quality of the seed than the onion.

GLOBE

globe shape with a smooth satin-white skin, forming a per-

cropper, yielding, under good culture, up to 900 bushels per acre.

the onions keep almost as good as the red and yellow varieties.
