Above is a reproduction of a photograph of a five acre piece of Southport White Globe Onion seed, taKen July 25; on our seed farm. Mr. George Fairchild, Jr., Westport, Conn., who is one of the expert onion growers in the Southport, Conn., section wrote under date of Sept. 25, the following : "The Southport White Globe onion seed I purchased of you last spring proved satisfac- tory in every respect. The onions grown from it are as good shape as those grown from my own seed and the vitality of your seed was much better than my own seed." We could print numerous other testimonials regarding our Southport Red Globe and Southport Yellow Globe varieties. Some of the finest crops in the United States grow from our seed.
