Southport Early Red Globe, a new variety, and decidedly the finest Onion yet 
introduced. Every Onion grower admires the old Southport strains, which 
always bring an extra price, but are too late to be relied upon to ripen north 
of Southern New England ; but this new variety can be planted with safety 
wherever the Danvers will mature. It differs from Early Red Globe in being 
much rounder and of finer quality. Lb. $2.25, oz. 25c. 5 
Early Red Globe, very early and of good size ; mild, prolific and keeps well ; lb.
