MAULE'S PRIZETAKER ONION. 



First offered in 1888, and has has proven the greatest acquisition in years. Has been universally endorsed by every one who 

 has tried it as the largest, handsomest, finest flavored, most superior Yellow Globe Onion ever introduced. There has never 

 been an Onion in these United States that could equal it ; nine years ago I made the prediction that it would supplant all other 

 Yellow Globe Onions in cultivation as soon as its sterling qualities were known, and this has come to pass. Maule's Prize- 

 taker has excited more favorable notice from the agricultural press and progressive gardeners in all parts of the country than 

 any other variety. Prizetaker is of a bright, clean straw color, and always grows to a uniform shape, which is a perfect 

 globe. Has a very small neck, and always ripens up large and fine without any stiff neck. In market it attracts marked 

 attention, and is sure to bring two or three times the price of any other, either red, white or yellow, for Prizetaker is more at- 

 tractive iu appearance, than the large Spanish Onions imported and sold in large cities for many years at fabulous prices. 

 With ordinary cultivation frequently yields 700 to 800 bushels per acre, and with extra care and attention often runs up to 

 1,080 bushels per acre. Mr. Greiner has frequently been quoted as praising Prizetaker in the highest terms, so that many of 

 my friends will likely be interested in hearing what he has to say about it after several season's experience. 



" I consider Prizetaker fittingly obaracterized by me in 1888 as the It will be seen from this letter that Mr. Greiner is as enthusiastic as 



'King of All Onions," has not yet found its peer. It excels every onion 

 now existing, in beauty, size and productiveness, and equals the best 

 in quality, being as mild in flavor as the Imported Spanish Onion of our 

 groceries. Do you want to make money in onion growing? Plant the 

 Prizetaker; if you are after the largest profits, plant none but the Prize- 

 taker. You can easily and most profitably dispense with all others. 

 Plant it on the plan now generally known as, 'The New Onion Cul- 

 ture,' and you will make more money than you ever did in onion grow- 

 ing before. The Prizetaker sells. Tiie small and medium sized speci- 

 mens gofbr Yellow Danvers, the large ones you can crate and sell for 

 Spanish Onions. If you do only reasonably well, you should grow 1,000 

 bushels per acre, and every bushel of this crop will sell for more money 

 than a bushel of the old varieties. I have been enthusiastic over the 

 Prizetaker ever since its introduction. During the six years that I have 

 grown it, more or less extensively, my enthusiasm has been steadily 

 growing, and after this season's experience, which proves the 

 Prizetaker also the best onion to resist drought, I am ready to give up 

 all other varieties for the Prizetaker, and am only sorry that I have not 

 done, so years ago. It would have increased my profits in the business 

 tiundreds of dollars. You can grow a good crop of Prizetakers even in 

 a dry season, when all, other sorts are dwarfed and a failure. In short, 

 fche Prizetaker is the onion for me. T. GREINER, La Salle, N. Y. 



ever concerning Prizetaker. His experience has been the same as that 

 of more than 75,000 people to whom I have sold seed of this variety dur- 

 ing the last nine years. In 1894 and 1895 I traveled more than 7,000 miles 

 in Europe, as far east as Buda Pesth, as far north as Berlin, and as far 

 south as Gibraltar; but nowheres in all Europe was I able to find so 

 handsome a yellow onion as Prizetaker, nor one that anyways near ap- 



Eroached it. For many years my supply of this famous onion was ex- 

 austed very early in the season, to the disappointment of many 

 friends. I have harvested a larger crop than ever, and as long as the 

 seed holds out, I will be pleased to otTer it at the following: 



Packet, 10 cents: ounce. 20 cents; quarter pound. 50 cents; 

 pound. $1.50; 5 pounds, $6.00. postpaid.
