Henderson’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 front that seed arc uniformly inferior in color, form and size. Not only 
in the U. S. but throughout the world our Connecticut grown Southport Globe 
Onions arc acknowledged superior to any. Many of the most exacting specialists 
in Europe send to us annually for these stocks, frankly conceding their superiority. 
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.) (Connecticut grown seed.) Price, 
10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 83c. }f lb., $3.00 lb. 
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 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 whole¬ 
some, 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 haj 
had to pass the critical eye of veteran 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, 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 
Viewed from every standpoint this is perhaps the best Onion of ail 
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., 50c. oz., $1.00 H 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 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.

“ Your Southport Yellow Globe Onions were the largest and best ever seen in 
this section. Commission men thought they were Prizctakers in size." 
WM. F. McCLOUD, Pueblo, Colo. 
" From 2 l 4 acres 1 harvested over 2,000 bushels of the finest Southport Yellow 
Globe Onions I ever raised. The seed was your Connecticut grown." 
LOUIS ESCIIRICH, North Milwaukee, Wis. 
Ailsa Craig Onion 
This is one of the largest of the British sorts, and 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 frequently bring us very large speci-: 
mens, grown for exhibition, five inches in diameter, and weighing two 
pounds apiece. 
The skin is 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 
Prizetaker are better. Price, 25c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 lb.
