Henderson’s Southport Globe Onion 
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. 1 hey have been grown by the saa 
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 ang 
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, in which every bulb used for seed purposes has had to pass the critical eye of veteran experts, have had no uncertain effect on thes* 
an<I 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 large 
towards the base, and so thoroughly have the tops been bred that, when dried off, they disappear entirely, leaving a perfect symmetrical bulb, shape!* 
proportionate, and quite devoid of neck, the presence of which not only mars the appearance, but is a serious menace to the keeping quality. 
Henderson’s Southport White Globe Onion 
Henderson’s Connecticut Grown Seed 
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.) (Con¬ 
necticut grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.20 34 lb., $8.00 lb. 
Henderson’s Southport Red Globe Onion 
Notwithstanding the fact that seed of the Southport Globe Onioi 
is largely grown in California and sold at a lower price, we do no* 
use it, as the crops grown from that, seed are uniformly inferior jr 
color, form and size. Not only in the U. S. but throughout th 
world our Connecticut grown Southpoit Globe Onions are acknowl 
edged superior to any. Many of the most exacting, specialists in 
Europe send to us annually for these stocks, frankly conceding theii 
superiority. 
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.) (Connecticut grown 
seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., 
$1.70 34 lb., $6.00 lb. 
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 it 
the red. It is mild in flavor and may be grown by anyone when 
Onions will grow, and is probably the best of all for general use.

They were the largest and finest onions grown in thii 
part of the country.”

March 10, 1917. Nesbit, Neb. 
“/ got 1,000 bushels to the acre of your Southport ' 
Yellow and Red Globe Onions. They were the finest

Fair in September just passed.”

In private gardens 
the cultivation of the 
family supply of On¬ 
ions from sets has 
much to recommend it 
The amount of labor in¬ 
volved is. dess, 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?
