100 days. A Large, Productive, Sweet, Attractive, 

 Mild Flavored Yellow Globe Onion 



We named and introduced this great onion in 1888, 

 and ever since have given it special prominence in every 

 catalog we have issued. Today, thirty-nine years after 

 it was named by us, it will be found in almost every seeds- 

 man's catalog. 



Prizetaker is by far the handsomest, most productive, 

 most popular and best of all large yellow globe onions. 

 It is a bright, clear straw color, and always grows to a 

 uniform shape, which is a perfect globe. It has a very 

 small neck and ripens up firm and solid. In market it 

 never fails to attract attention on account of its beauty, 

 and is sure to bring a better price than any other onion. 

 Maule's Prizetaker has attracted more attention and awak- 

 ened wider and more cordial enthusiasm than any other 

 onion ever introduced to the American public. It is one 

 of the largest, finest flavored yellow globe onions for 

 either the home garden or market. Matures in 100 days.
