Maule’s Commercial Onion has been selected | MA, 
from our original Prizetaker and has been bred: = 
to a size that Is more merchantable. Our efforts | 
have been rewarded by securing an onion fully | 
as handsome 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 hundred bushels per 
acre have been no unusual yield, and this quan- | 
tity has been frequently surpassed. _ Twenty- 
seven years ago we introduced the Prizetaker | 
onion, and until now we have not found a sin-| 
gle variety that could equal, let alone surpass) | 
it, in any way. We take great» pleasure in| | 
offering our customers Maule’s Commercial | |W 
Onion, a variety that has proven as popular 
and equally as desirable.
