THE MAMMOTH PRIZETAKER eN10N. 



American Grown Seed Crop of 1894. 



This handsome variety was first introduced by us a few years since 

 from Spain, where it is largely grown for shipment to other countries. 

 Hundreds of American onion growers who have 

 grown it on our recommendation, agree in pro- 

 nouncing it the largest, handsomest and 

 most profitable yellow variety they ha\-e 

 ever grown. Many specimens sent in 

 to us had attained weights of from four 

 to six pounds under special culture. 

 It is the large, beautiful onion 

 that is seen even,^ fall on sale at 

 the fruit stores and stands in the 

 large cities (see photograph oppo- 

 site). The outside skin is of a 

 rich 3-ellow straw color, while 

 the flesh is white, sweet, mild 

 and tender. They bottom well, 

 are free from stiff necks, and have 

 produced in several instances 

 more bushels of marketable 

 onions to the acre than any other 

 variet}- known. In market they 

 attract special attention, and 

 have alwaj's been picked out at 

 two to three times the price of 

 an}- other sort on sale. The seed 

 we offer is American grown, and 

 much superior in quality- to the 

 cheaper imported seed offered b)- 

 some. Pkt., loc. ; oz., 25c.; % 

 lb., 65c.; lb., $2.25; 5 lbs. and 

 over, ^2.cxD per lb. 



New Wliite Prize-winner Onion. 



The demand for this new onion was 

 so great last spring that we were sold 

 out of the seed long before the season 

 was over; ha\-ing, however, grown a 

 large acreage this season, we hope to 

 have enough to fill all orders. Hun- 

 dreds of oiir 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. 

 In magnificent shape and enormous 

 size it is the exact counterpart of the 

 Mammoth Yello'wr Prizetaker, de- 

 scribed above, differing only in its 

 handsome silvery-white skin. An en- 

 thusiastic customer, in his report, sa^-s: 

 "It completeh- astonished me; there 

 has never been an onion grown in 

 America that can hold a candle to it." 

 Another -n-rites: "It is the most valu- 

 able addition to the onion family ever 

 made." It will pay every onion 

 grower to give the White Prize- 

 Winner a trial. Pkt., 15c.; oz.,45C.; 

 ]i lb., $1.25; lb., I4.50. 



LARGEST A>I> FINEST. 



H. Devoe. Petersburg, Va., October 27, 1S94, 

 ■writes : "Your vrhite Prize-'Winners are by 

 far the largest and finest onions I ever saw." 



^tVltt, PLAJfT NO OTHEK. 



John R. Pistle, Sullivan, Ind., October 28, 

 1894, writes: "Your new White Prize-Win- 

 ner Onions cannot be equalled; they took the 

 premium at three county fairs. I will hence- 

 forth plant no other." 



Except in Color the Exact Counterpart of Mammoth Prizetaker.
