Maulers Commercial Yellow Globe 



443 



Perfect Globe Shape. Large, Heavy and Solid. Mild Flavored. 



Maule's Commercial onion has been selected from our original Prize- 

 taker and has been bred to a size that is more merchantable. Our 

 eflorts have been rewarded by securing an onion fully as handsome as 

 the Prizetaljer in every way; of more uniform size, and whose keeping 

 qualities are simply remarkable and decidedly superior to the parent 

 variety. Sis to eight hundred bushels per acre have been no unusual 

 yield, and this quantity has been frequently surpassed. Thirty-four 

 years ago we introduced the Prizetaker onion, and until now we have 

 not found a single variety that could equal, let alone surpass it in any 

 way. We take great pleasure in offering our customers Blaule's Com- 

 mercial, which produces large handsome yellow globe onions in 100 days. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 35 cents; 

 quarter pound, 75 cents; pound, $3.50; 5 pounds, $10.00, postpaid.

 boiling. A favorite with many when young as a salad or bunching onion;

 are deep green, with a glossy surface, enabling it to withstand dry 

 weather and the attacks of insects. The handsome globe shape onions 

 are of light straw color, and while large in size are splendid keepers.
