TRUE American Grown, Reliable Onion Seeds, that which 

 can be trusted, is of the most importance to both the 

 grower of large Onions and those who grow sets. "We have 

 never yet placed in the hands of any Onion grower, seed which 

 did not, from first to last, give entire satisfaction. We have made 

 it a point to sell our customers no Onion Seed except it be from 

 the most reliable sources possible. Our seed is grown from the 

 earliest, most evenly developed, hoicest bulbs, critically se- 

 lected by the hand of an expert, is unsurpassed, no matter what 

 price you pay. There has been no branch of our business which 

 has so thoroughly rewarded us for our extreme care. JUST 

 THINK, FARMER, if you plant inferior or poor, common, im- 

 ported Onion Seed (you may even be persuaded to pay big 

 prices for it — that is not always a protection), you have thrown 

 to the wind, your time labor, fertilizer, and the use of your 

 I,AND for one long year, without any returns. We do not ask 

 our customers fancy prices because we have reliable seed, but we 

 make our prices reasonable, so that every grower can secure his 

 entire supply of garden seed from us, and have something left to 

 provide the other necessities and pleasures of life. 



PRIZETAKER ONION

Its Mildness of Flavor and Tenderness are 



Unequaled Even by the Bermuda 



Varieties. 



In Size it is Not Excelled by the Enormous 



Varieties from Spain. 

 pIGHT hundred to one thousand bushels to the 

 *-" acre, and a single specimen weighing as much 

 as 6 pounds 2 ounces, are some of the things this 

 handsome Globe Onion will produce. It has a 

 bright, clear, straw color, and invariably grows a 

 perfect globe shape. It is by far the handsomest, 

 most productive, most profitable, and best of all 

 the Yellow Globe Onions, targe Onions can 

 always be raised in a single season directly from 

 seed. It has always brought much better prices 

 than any other Onion; in market it never fails to 

 attract attention on account of its beauty; on 

 the city fruit stalls it has completely taken 

 the place of the large Spanish Onions. The Prize- 

 taker Onion is gifted with strong drought-resist- 

 ing ability, and we consider this one of its great 

 merits. People who wish to make money should 

 plant the prize-taker Onion; it is admitted by the 

 most critical Onion growers to be the largest, 

 finest flavored, and most superior Yellow Globe 

 Onion under cultivation. PacKets 5c and 10c,
