441 Maule's Prizetaker* 



Large, attractive yellow onion of sweet, mild flavor (ICO days) 



A most handsome, fine flavored, extra productive, very large 

 yellow globe onion. Bright, clear, thin, strawy yellow skin; pure 

 white, solid, crisp, mild flesh. Grows to a uniform globe shape 

 and has a very small neck. Ripens firm and hard, and can be 

 depended upon to bring a good price in any market. Of even 

 size, shape and color. Introduced by Maule in 1888, and imme- 

 diately met with great popularity which has continued ever since.

452 Early Yellow Globe 



Choice strain. 10 days earlier than Yellow Globe Danvers (100 days) 



One of the best and earliest globe-shaped onions; beautiful deep 

 yellow skin and clear white flesh. The skin is thick and tight, 

 which makes the onions less susceptible to damage through hand- 

 ling and it also helps to keep them better over winter in storage. 

 An enormous cropper arid an especially fine variety for growing 



On mucklands. Pkt. 150; Vz oz. 500; oz. 950; Vi lb. $3.60. 



456 White Portugal or Silver Skin 



Large, flat white onion (100 days) 



Really one of the most versatile varieties. It is the kind used for 

 white onion sets; it makes the best firm, white fleshed, green 

 onions; it is often used for pickling; and the matured flat onions 

 keep well for some time in storage. Decidedly pungent. 



Pkt. 150; Vz oz- 450; oz. 850; Vi lb. $3.20.

439 Maule's Large Sweet Spanish * 



Utah strain. Extra large; mild flavor; yellow (112 days) 



This onion is now the most popular of all varieties, and it has 

 gained its place for two reasons: great size and extreme mildness. 

 It has light yellow skin, crystal white flesh, and is often used raw 

 because of its sweet, bland flavor. When properly dried, it keeps 

 for several months. Resists thrips. 



Pkt. 150; Vz oz. 500; oz. 950; Vi lb. $3.60. 



438 Maule's White Sweet Spanish 



Utah strain. Large and mild flavored (110 days) 



All the outstanding features of the above Large Yellow Sweet 

 Spanish will be found in this onion, but the flesh and the outer 

 skin are both pure white. Large size, mild flavor, and handsome 

 appearance combine to make this a most valuable onion.

436 Maule's Large Red Wethersfieid 



A fine red onion with good, pungent flavor (110 days)

 pungent. Pkt. 150; Vz oz. 400; oz. 750; Vi lb- $2.80.

Enormous cropper. The longest keeping yellow onion (100 days)

 heavily and keeps well. Sets grown from Ebenezer are of excel- 

 lent color, shape and keeping quality. Onions are 2}4 to 3 in. or 

 more in diameter when well grown, flattened, yellow in color, 

 moderately strong in flavor. Very dependable throughout the

 mercially. Pkt. 100; Vz oz. 350; oz. 650; Vi lb. $2.40.
