MAULE’S PRIZETAKER ONION 
4a o————. 
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; eight years agoI 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 in 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 
1,000 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.

“T consider Prizetaker fittingly characterized by me in 1888 as the 
*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. The small and medium sized speci- 
mens go for 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, Iam 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 
hundreds 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, 
the Prizetaker is the onion for me. T. GREINER, La Salle, N. Y. 
It will be seen from this letter that Mr. Greiner is as enthusiastic as 
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 eight 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- 
proached it. For many years my supply of this famous onion was ex- 
hausted 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 offer it at the following: 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 4% 1b., 60 cents; 
Ib., $2.25; 5 lbs., $10.00, postpaid.

The fact that the much lauded Spanish. King has been surpassed so completely by Prizetaker that the 
introducers of it, now do not even list Spanish King in their catalogue, but offer Prizetaker only. I 
would caution my friends, however, against purchasing Spanish King
