H enderson-s SOUTHPOKT GLOBE ONIONS 
PERFECT GLOBE-SHAPE 
There are no Onions to compare with the famous Connecticut product, long 
known as the Southport Globe Onions. They have been grown by the same 
families over a long period of years. One of our growers has supplied us with 
the same identical strains for over forty years. 
In every respect they are excellent. The young plants provide delicious salad 
in spring. They may be used boiled or raw before maturity, or cured and kept 
through the winter and until the new crop is ready, thus supplying the table 
the year round with a wholesome, health-giving food. 
The most severe test of an Onion is that which affects its keeping quality. 
In this respect the Southport Globe Onions are supreme. Years of selection, 
BEST KEEPERS 
in which every bulb used for seed purposes has had to pass the critical eye of 
vete r an experts, have had no uncertain effect on these, and they are today 
beyond doubt, the best of all Onions. 
The difference in the respective sorts is mainly one of color. They have the 
same shape, which is almost oval, excepting that they are somewhat larger 
towards the base, and so thoroughly have the tops been bred that, when dried 
off, they disappear entirely, leaving a perfect symmetrical bulb, shapely, pro¬ 
portionate, and quite devoid of neck, the presence of which not only mars the 
appearance, but is a serious menace to the keeping quality. 
LARGE, HEAVY AND SOLID 
H Southport Red Globe Onion 
A most attractive variety of medium size, growing under ordinary . 
conditions to a diameter of three inches. The outer skin is a rich 
purplish-red, and the flesh is faintly tinged with the same color. It 
is a little stronger than the white and yellow, and preferred by many 
for this reason. (See cut.) (Connecticut grown seed.) Price, 10c. 
pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 34 lb., $2.00 lb. 
H E SOU E TH?ORT White Globe Onion 
Viewed from every standpoint this is perhaps the best Onion of all 
for family use, for, while it is similar in some respects to the other 
Southport Globes, it is more attractive in appearance. The flesh 
when cooked is of a rich milky color, tender and of delicious flavor, 
and when eaten raw is the mildest of the three. (See cut.) (Con¬ 
necticut grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 80c. J4 lb., $2.80 lb. 
"I saw some fields 
of Onions that my 
neighbor Mr. I. II. 
Wright grew, and 
they were the best I 
ever saw. lie told 
me that Henderson's 
Southport Red Globe 
Seed yielded him 
1150 bushels to the 
acre. Please fill the 
enclosed order.”

HENDERSON'S SOUTHPORT 
Yellow Globe Onion 
The very best strain of yellow Onion, the exterior 
color of which is generally esteemed. This color 
does not extend to the flesh, as in the red. It is 
mild in flavor and may be grown by any one 
where Onions will grow, and is probably the best 
of all for general use. ( See cut.) (Connecticut 
grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 
J4 lb., $2.00 lb. 
“7 got 1,000 bushels to the acre of your Southport 
Yellow Globe and Red Globe Onions — the finest 1 ever 
grew. - I took first prize on both yellow and red Onions 
with them against all competitors at the Minnesota 
Stale Fair in September just Passed. I won prizes 
with vegetables from your seed to the value of 
$126.00.” JOHN A. GANTZER.

HENDEKSON’S 
Connecticut Grown Seed 
Notwithstanding the fact that seed of the 
Southport Globe Onions is largely grown 
in California and sold at a lower price, 
we do not use it, as the crops grown from 
that seed are uniformly inferior in color, 
form and size. Not only in the U. S. 
but throughout the world our Connecti¬ 
cut grown vSouthport Globe Onions are 
acknowledged superior to any. Many 
of the most exacting specialists in 
Europe send to us annually for 
these stocks, frankly conceding 
their superiority
