MHULE'S PRIZETAKER ©NI0N. 



First introduced by me in 1888, and has proven the greatest acquisition in years. Has been universally endorsed by 

 every one who has tried .it as the largest, handsomest, finest flavored, most superior Yellow Globe Onion. There has never 

 been an Onion in these United States that could equal it; ten years ago I made the prediction that it would supplant all other 

 Yellow Globe Onions in cultivation as soon as its sterling qualities were known, and this has come to pass. Maule's Prize- 

 taker has excited more favorable notice from the agricultural press and progressive gardeners in all parts of the country than 

 any other variety. Prizetaker is of a bright, clean straw color, and always grows to a uniform shape, which is a perfect 

 globe. Has a very small neck, and always ripens up large and fine without any stifT neck. In market it attracts marked 

 attention, and is sure to bring two or three times the price of any other, either red, white or yellow, for Prizetaker is more at- 

 tractive in appearance than the large Spanish Onions imported and sold in large cities for many years at fabulous prices. 

 With ordinary cultivation frequently yields 700 to 800 bushels per acre, and with extra care and attention often runs up to 

 1,000 bushels per acre. Mr. Greiner has frequently been quoted as praising Prizetaker in the highest terms, so that many of 

 my friends will likely be interested in hearing what he has to say about it after several seasons' experience. 



"I consider Prizetaker flttinsly characterized by me in 1888 as the 

 "King of All Onions,"has not yet found its peer. It excels every onion 

 now existing, in beauty, size and productiveness, and equals the best in 

 quality, being as mild m flavor as the Imported Spanish Onion of our 

 groceries. Do you want to make money in onion growing? Plant the 

 Prizetaker; if you are after the largest profits, plant none but the Prize- 

 taker. You can easily and most profitably dispense with all others. 

 Plant it on the plan now generally known as, 'The New Onion Cul- 

 ture.' and you will make more money than you ever did In onion grow- 

 ing before. The Prizetaker sells. The small and medium sized speci- 

 mens go for Yellow Danvers, the large ones you can crate and sell for 

 Spanish Onions. If you do only reasonably well, you should grow 1,000 



bushels per acre, and every bushel of this crop will sell for more money 

 than a bushel of the old varieties. I have been enthusiastic over the 

 Prizetaker ever since its introduction. During the six years that I have 

 grown it, more or less extensively, my enthusiasm has been steadily 

 growing, and after this season's experience, which proves the Prize- 

 taker also the best onion to resist drought; I am ready to give up all 

 other varieties for the Prizetaker, and am only sorry that I have not 

 done so years ago. It would have increased my profits in the business 

 hundreds of dollars. You can grow a good crop of Prlzetakers even in a 

 dry season, when all other sorts are dwarfed and a failure. In short, the 

 Prizetaker Is the onion for me." 



T. GREINER, La Salle, iV. Y. 



It will be seen from this letter that Mr. Greiner is as enthusiatisic as ever concerning Prizetaker. His experience has 

 been the same as that of more than 75,000 people to whom I have sold seed of this variety during the last ten years. I have 

 traveled more than 7,000 miles in Europe, as far east as Buda Pesth, as far north as Berlin, and as far south as Gibraltar; but 

 nowheres in all Europe was I able to find so handsome a yellow onion as Prizetaker, nor one that an.yways near approached 

 it. For many .years my suppl.y of this famous onion was exhausted very earl.y in the season to the disappointment of many 

 friends. I have harvested a large crop, and as long as the seed holds out, I will be pleased to ofTer it at the following prices :
