The H/innoTn Prizet/iker Onion. 



This handsome variety was first introduced by us a few years since from Spain, where it is largely- 

 grown for shipment to other countries. Himdreds of American onion growers agree in pronouncing it 

 the largest, handsomest, and most profitable yellow variety they have ever grown. It is the very large, 

 beautiful onion that is seen ever}^ fall on sale at the fruit stores and stands in the large cities (see photo- 

 graph above, % natural size). The outside skin is of a rich yellow straw color, while the flesh is white, 

 sweet, mild and tender. They bottom well, are free from stiff necks and produce enormously. The seed 

 we offer is American grown, crop of 1895, and much superior in quality to the cheaper imported seed offered 

 by some. Pkt., loc. ; oz., 20c.; X lb., 60c.; lb., |2.oo, post-paid; 5 lbs.,|8.75 ; 10 lbs. and over, ;f 1.65 per lb. 



New White Prize-Winner Onion. 



In magnificent shape and enormous size, the "White Prize-Winner is the exact counterpart of the 

 Mammoth Yello'w Prizetaker, described above, differing only in its handsome silvery white skin. 

 Hundreds of our best market gardeners and onion growers have given it a trial, and, judging by the large 

 number of favorable reports, nothing equal to it in the line of white onions has ever before been grown 

 in America. One enthusiastic customer, who grew it, says : " It completely astonished me ; there has 

 never been an onion grown in America that can hold a candle to it." Another writes : " It is the most 

 valuable addition to the onion family ever made." It will pay every onion grower to sow the White 

 Prize-Winner. Per pkt., loc. ; oz., 35c.; X lb., $1.00 ; lb., $3.50, post-paid. 



At PLORACROFT Trial 

 Grounds we plant, each sea- 

 son, samples of all " Novel- 

 ties" offered by other seeds- 

 men. Thus we are enabled to 

 satisfy ourselves of the true 

 character and value of any 

 novelty before it can find a 

 place in our Catalogue. 



Here are also located our 

 Seed Testing Houses, where 

 a sample of each lot of seeds 

 we handle is tested for vital- 

 ity, to find how many seeds in 

 one hundred will grow, as well 

 as for purity and quality of 

 stock. In fact, we leave no 

 stone unturned to gain and 

 hold the confidence of all cus- 

 tomers and assure them from 

 disappointment.
