Excels in Yield Excels in Size Excels in Keeping Qualities 



Its Mildness of Flavor and Tenderness are 

 Unequalled even by the Bermuda Varieties 



In Size it is Not Excelled by. the 

 Enormous Varieties from Spain 



THE Prizetaker Onion has now been several 

 years on the market and is recognized as 

 one of our best standard varieties. Rarely has 

 any vegetable attained prominence more rapidlv ; 

 it succeeds everywhere — east, west, north and 

 south — and whether grown for home use or for 

 marketing it gives universal satisfaction, yielding 

 onions often 14 inches around and at the rate 

 of 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per acre — often much 

 more under exceptionally good culture. Its 

 immense size and mildness of flavor delight 

 every one who raises it. Nothing short of actual 

 knowledge of this variety will convey a really 

 adequate idea of its great value, whether con- 

 sidered as a variety for commercial or private 

 culture. Its immense size will recommend it to 

 all, particularly when it is known that its keeping 

 qualities are unexcelled. The exterior color is 

 pale yellow, and the interior clear sparkling 

 white. It is easily grown, medium early in 

 maturing, mild in flavor. By sowing early in 

 a sheltered spot and transplanting the young 

 plants, it can be grown to an immense size. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 40c. \ lb., $1.25 

 lb., 5 lbs. and upward, $1.15 lb.

FROM OUR ENTHUSIASTIC CUSTOMERS ABOUT OUR 



"PrVIZF,TAI\F-R" ONIONS 



'Prizetaker* Onion is the greatest and best Onion thai ever was raised. I raised one last 

 year that was over 14 inches around it." J. M. GREGORY, Sunderland, 17. 



"The 'Prizetaker' Onion seed produced a wonderful crop. The season here was very dry and 

 yet some of the Onions measured 1 1 \ inches in circumference. The warm fall caused all other vanities 

 to sprout and grow more or less, but the 'Prizetaker' has nnt i/et shown a ureen sprout. Mild in flavor, 

 of large size, and a good keeper, it surely is a perfect vegetable." HIRAM COLLEGE, Hiram, Ohio. 



"I raised your 'Prizetaker' Onion lust i/eur ami never sou- am/thing like it. Some of them 

 weighed as much as 2\ lbs., and then they are so mild that a baby can eat them." Mrs. E. A . BELL , 



Belles Store, La. 



"II e raised your 'Prizetaker' Onion last season and every one who sees or eats them is delighted. 

 They are rightly named, for they took the first premium at our Lewis County Fair among a large number 

 of competitors:' Mrs. M. M. LYMAN, Lowville, N. Y. 



White, Portugal 



OR SILVER SKIN ONION 



The leading White Flat Onion. For the family garden 

 it is one of the best. The bulbs attain a good size, ripen- 

 ing evenly; the color is a beautiful silvery-white when 

 cured under cover. Its shape is flat but symmetrical. 

 For a white variety it is not only early, but a good 

 keeper. For slicing and boiling it is one of the best, 

 the flesh being mild and tender. It is largely grown 

 for pickles when sown three or four times as thick as 

 usual and is also extensively sown for sets. (See cut.)

 bors did from V. lbs. of Philadclpliia Onion Seed." 



S. SMITH, Oswego, N. Y.

 and qualify, free from mixture. They are ripe now. There may be 

 other seidsmen just as good, but I would hole to risk a change."
