We could fill pages with praise of our Prizetaker Onion from our 
enthusiastic customers similar to the following: 
« With same mail I send you a sample of Prizetaker onion raised from 
seeds purchased of you. I amperfectly satisfied with the result, as I have 
a crop of 80 bushels from a ¥%4 lb. seed.” 
FRANK BEYER, Gardenville, Erie Co., N. Y. 
“The yield of your Prizetaker onion is immense, at least double that of 
the yellow Danvers, side by side.” S. GRAFF, Johnstown, N. Y. 
“The Prizetaker onion has done well—they are nearly as large 
as Ponderosa tomatoes.” 
JOHN BETZ, St. Mary’s Seminary, Greenburg, Pa. 
“« My Prizetaker onions are a perfect crop—both for size and 
quality,” ROBERT BIRCH, Plymouth, Mich. 
“Your Prizetaker onions produced a wonderful crop. The 
season was excessively dry, yet many of the onions measured 1144 
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.” 
Prof. EDWIN L. HALL, Hiram College, Hiram, Ohio. 
“The Prizetaker onion seed you sent me beat anything I ever 
saw produced, especially when we had to contend with the drouth.”” 
W. E. HOBRAN, 
Walnut Grove Farm, Bowling Green, Ky. 
“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 late in May ”’ 
Mrs. JOHN KLIPPEL, Bath, Maine.
