Henderson's Superior Onion Sets 
In private gardens, the cultivation of the family supply of 
Onions from sets has much to recommend it. The amount of 
labor involved is less, the danger of loss from maggots and other 
insects is considerably reduced, the crop is surer to grow, and is 
ready for use weeks in advance of that grown from seed. On a 
small scale where the cost of sets is not a serious item, we urge 
customers to use them. In fact the ideal way is to use both sets 
and seed—the sets for use in the spring and summer, and seed to 
grow bulbs for winter keeping. (See cut.) We offer sets of the 
three standard varieties mentioned below, the descriptions of 
which will be found on pages 43 and 45 of this catalogue.

A VERY LAKGE BRITISH VARIETY 
RAPIDLY GAINING POPULARITY IN AMERICA 
This is one of the largest of the British sorts, which is used very 
extensively in private gardens both for ordinary use and for exhibition 
purposes. European Onions do not, as a rule, grow well in America 
until thoroughly acclimated. This variety has proved to be an excep¬ 
tion, and has done well since its first appearance here. Grown from 
seed raised under our supervision, it has become one of the largest and 
most useful Onions. Gardeners along the Hudson River in New York 
frequently bring us very large specimens, grown especially for exhibi¬ 
tion, five inches in diameter, and weighing two pounds apiece. 
It is a little flattened at the base and pointed slightly at the top. 
The skin when ripe is rather dark straw color, the flesh pure white, 
very mild in flavor, and always quite tender. 
We do not advise its use for keeping. Our Globe varieties and 
Prize taker are better. (See cut.) Price, 25c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 lb. 
WE ALSO OFFER THE FOLLOWING VARIETIES 
(1 oz. for 100 feet of drill.) 
EXTRA EARLY FLAT RED. Remarkably early, of medium size; a good keeper, 
shape uniform, flat-round; an excellent variety for home gardens. Price, 
5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 55c. lb., $1.75 lb. 
ROUND YELLOW DANVERS. Similar to Yellow Globe Danvers, except that 
it is flatter. It matures very early, and is a reliable and large cropper. Price, 
5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 45c. Lf lb., $1.40 lb. 
WHITE BUNCH. Of vigorous growth, producing large, showy, white Onions, of fine, 
mild quality, especially adapted 
for using when young. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. 
oz., 80c. lb., 
$3.00 lb.
