un MAULE’S PRIZETAKER ONION. 
“This simply magnificent onion which I discovered 
last Summer by chance is certainly a wonder. There 
has never been an onion in these United States that 
could equal it, and I believe it will supplant all other 
Yellow Globe Onions now in cultivation as soon as 
its sterling qualities are known. I only have a few 
pounds of seed (which I have purchased at a tremendous

giving unbounded satisfaction wherever grown. The 
crop is very uniform, and the roots heavy, handsome, 
and clean, with single tap root. Particularly recom- 
price) to offer my customers; but if Prizetaker only does 
one-half as well as I expect, IT WILL ASTONISH 
EVERYONE WHO SOWS IT.”’’ 
The above description, written in 1888, was an accu- 
rate prophecy, and Prizetaker is still one of the foremost

A PAGE FROM THE PAST 
Every illustration and all the descriptions on this page were taken di- 
rectly from our catalog for the year 1888. Wm. Henry Maule was already 
one of America’s leading seedsmen, and the Prizetaker onion, introduced 
with his characteristic enthusiasm, was only one in an unbroken series of 
novelties and improvements continued to this day, Many varieties, like 
those shown here, are still best sellers,
