PERFECT GLOBE^SHAPE
LARGE, HEAVY AND SOLID
BEST KEEPERS
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 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 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, pro-
portionate, and quite devoid of neck, the presence of which not only mars the
appearance, but is a serious menace to the keeping quality.

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 cut.) (Connecticut grown seed.) Price, 10c.
pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. \i lb., $2.00 lb.
"/ saw some fields
of Onions that my
neighbor Mr. I. H.
Wright grew, and
they were the best I
ever saw. He told
me that Henderson's
Southport Red Globe
Seed yielded him
1150 bushels to the
acre. Please fill the
enclosed order."

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 cut.) (Con-
necticut grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 80c. % lb., $2.80 Ibt
HENDERSON'S SOUTHPORT
Yellow Globe Onion
I'he 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. (See cut.) (Connecticut
grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c.

"/ got 1,000 bushels to the acre of your Southport
Yellow Globe and Red Globe Onions — the finest I ever
grew. I took first prize on both yellow and red Onions
■with them against all competitors at the Minnesota
Stale Fair in September just passed. I won prizes
with vegetables from your seed to the value of
$125.00." JOHN A. GANTZER.

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 from
that seed are uniformly inferior in color,
form and size. Not only in the U. S.
but throughout the world our Connecti-
cut grown Southport Globe Onions are
acknowledged superior to any. Many
of the most exacting specialists in
K Europe send to us annually for
these stocks, frankly conceding
their superiority
