These highly-bred and critically-selected types of “ Southport Globe Onions” are so superior 
in shape, size, solidity and yield to the onions raised from California strains that we have 
discarded all western-grown seed, our customers and ourselves having proven it economy 
to use Henderson's Connecticut-grown Globe Onion Seed—even at the higher price.

“ I must say I can find no other seed that can anywhere 
near equal your Southport Onions. I yet a better yield 
by 200 bushels per acre, arid they are larger, better globe 
shape and better keepers, and can get loc. to 20c. per 
bushel more for them than for other onions. I raised 
over 10,000 bushels this year.” 
S. N. BULLIS, LinesHlle, Pa. 
The most beautiful Onion grown, being 
of symmetrical globe shape with a smooth 
satin-white skin, forming a perfect silver 
ball. It grows to a large size, averaging 
7 h to 9 inches in circumference, and is solid 
and heavy; the flesh is purest white, close 
and fine grained, mild and of delicate flavor. 
It is a heavy cropper, yielding under good 
culture up to 900 bushels per acre. Our 
strain of this seed is grown from picked 
thin-necked bulbs, which ripen so uniform¬ 
ly and cure so thoroughly that the Onions 
keep nearly as well as the Red and Yellow 
varieties. For the family garden, as well as 
for market, this is a valuable Onion. Price

“/ grew about 2,000 bushels of your White GLOBE 
ONIONS this year. I got as high as 900 bushels to the 
acre , all beautiful Onions. I will want a considerable 
quantity of pure WHITE GLOBE eastern-grown seed, 
just like the seed you sent me last spring. It was 
splendid and without any mixture whatever .” 
JAMES McVITTY, Perry, Ohio. 
This is one of the most satisfactory and 
popular varieties raised, either for family 
use or for market. It is an enormous 
yielder, hardy and reliable, making, under 
good conditions, often up to 1,000 bushels 
per acre. The onions are models of per¬ 
fection, growing uniformly deep and 
globular in shape, veritable globes of gold, 
and are extra large, averaging 9 to 10 
inches in circumference; the color of the 
skin is an attractive light golden-yellow; 
the flesh snow-white, firm, mild and juicy. 
The small necks of this superior strain 
enable the onions to ripen down evenly, 
insuring unsurpassed keeping qualities.

“ Your Southport Yellow Globe Onion seed is en¬ 
titled to more prominence in your catalogue. It is the 
best strain of Onions in this country to-day. On 5 
acres of ground I grew 5,186 bushels of sound Onions. 
I hope you will send me the same this year. I dont 
ask you to bid on poor seed.”
