PRIZETAKER 



THE LARGEST IN SIZE. 



THE MOST HANDSOME IN SHAPE 



THE MILDEST IN FLAVOR. 



Our pure American-grown stock of this is the largest and handsomest 

 Onion we have ever grown, eclipsing in size and appearance the 

 most wonderful of the Spanish and Italian varieties, many of the 

 bulbs weighing from 3 to 3% lbs. each. The skin is a rich golden 

 color, while the flesh is white, and so mild and sweet that it may be 

 eaten raw like an apple. This variety will take a leading place 

 among the many valuable sorts now in general use, and we have no 

 doubt will at all times command ready sales. For many years this 

 Onion has been imported in large quantities and sold in many of the 

 first-class grocery stores throughout the country at a very high 

 price, so that its good qualities are well known to many in this as 

 well as other sections. Pkt.,5cts.; oz.,20cts.; % lb., 50 cts.; lib
