“With same mail I send you a sample of Prizetaker onion raised from seeds 
purchased of you. Iam perfectly satisfied with the result, as 1 have a crop of80 
bushels from 4 lb. of seed.” 
“The yield of your Prizetaker onion is immense, at least double that of the 
yellow Danvers, side by side.” 
“The Prizetaker onion has done well—they are nearly as large as Ponderosa 
tomatoes.” 
““My Prizetaker onions are 2 perfect crop—both for size and quality.” 
“Your Prizetaker onions produced a wonderful crop. The season was exces- 
sively dry, yet many of the onions measured 111% inches in circumference. The 
warm weather this fall caused all other varieties to sprout, but Prizetaker has 
not yet shown a green sprout. Its mildness of flavor, immense size and good 
keeping qualities surely render it a perfect vegetable.” 
“The Prizetaker onion seed you sent me beat anything I ever saw produced, 
especially when we had to contend with the drouth.” 
“T was pleased, indeed, with the result from your Prizetaker onion seed; 
some of the onions measured nearly fourteen inches in circumference, which we 
thought quite remarkable, as the seeds were not sown until Jate in May.” 
‘By transplanting your Prizetaker trom hot-bed last year I raised them 13% 
inches in diameter, mention of which was made in many of our Canadian papers.” 
“BPvery one who eats your Prizetaker onion is delighted with the mild flavor; 
they are rightly named, for we took the first premium at our county fair among 
a large number of competitors.” 
“T raised 113 bushels of Prizetaker onions from 4 Ib. of your seeds.” 
“My Prizetaker onions, raised from seed purchased of you, are the ‘sensation’ 
ofthe neighborhood, many ofthe onions measuring fifteen and one-fourth inches 
in circumference, which I consider extraordinary, as the seed was not sown until 
the sixth day of May, and the fore part of the season was very unfavorable.” 
Henderson’s ‘‘Prizetaker’’ onions, grown from our seed, received an award 
of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of England.
