Henderson’s Southport Globe Onions 
Perfect Keepers. Delicious in Flavor. Perfect Globe-Shape. Large, Heavy and Solid 
^ 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 m 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. 
1 he most severe test of an Onion is that which effects its keeping quality. 
In this respect the Southport Globe Onions are supreme. 
Years of selection, in which every bulb used for seed purposes has i 
to pass the critical eye of veteran experts, have had no uncertain effect 
these, and they are today, beyond doubt, the best of all Onions. 
I he difference in the respective sorts is mainly one of color. They hai 
the same shape, which is almost oval, excepting that they are somewlu 
a J"^ er towards the base, and so thoroughly have the tops been bred tha^ 
^ „ dried off, they disappear entirely, leaving a perfect symmetries 
aulb, shapely, proportionate, and quite devoid of neck, the presence cl 
which not only mars the appearance, but is a serious menace to the keeoii 
quality. 
Henderson’s Southport 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 engraving.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.40 \i lb., $5.00 lb. 
Henderson’s Southport Yellow Globe Onion 
. ^ very best strain of yellow Onion, the exterior color of whid 
is generally esteemed. This color does not extend to the flesh, as 
the red. It is mild in flavor and may be grown by anyone where 
Onions will grow, and is probably the best of all for general use 
(See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.15 }4 lb., $4.00 lb. 
Henderson’s 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 engraving.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 lb., 
$3.50 lb.

Superior Onion Sets 
Onion Sets we do not deliver free. Purchaser payi 
transportation. Onion sets weigh 1 lb. per quart. Foi 
Parcel Post Zone rates see page 1. 
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 andi. 
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 
serious item, we urge cus¬ 
tomers to use them. In fact 
the ideal way is to use both 
sets and seed—the sets for 
use in the spring and sum¬ 
mer, and seed to grow bulbs 
for winter keeping.
