wsMaule's Commercial Yellow Globe 



Perfect Globe Shape. Large Heavy and Solid. Mild Flavored 



Maule's Commercial onion has been selected from our original Prize 

 taker and has been bred to a size that is more merchantable. Our 

 efforts have been rewarded by securing an onion fully as handsonae as 

 the Prizetaker in every way; of more uniform size, and whose keeping 

 qualities are simply remarkable and decidedly superior to the parent 

 variety. Six to eight hundred bushels per acre have been no unusual 

 yield, and this quantity has been frequently surpassed. Thirty-three 

 years ago we introduced the Prizetaker onion, and until now we have 

 not found a single variety that could equal, let alone surpass, it in any 

 way. We take great pleasure in ofi'ering our customers Waule's Com- 

 mercial, which produces large handsome yellow globe onions in 100 days. 

 Packet, 10 cents, ounce 30 cents; 

 quarter pound, 85 cents; pound $2.75, postpaid.
