12 My attentior was first called to the Commercial Onion three or four 
years ago by one of the largest growers of onions in this country, who 
told me that he had been for years selecting them from my original 
t Prizetaker and breeding them down to a size that he considered more 
merchantable. His efforts have been rewarded by securing an onion 
\o fully as handsome as the Prizetaker in every way; of more uniform 
size, and whose keeping qualities were simply remarkable and decid- 
edly superior to the parent variety. The picture above well illustrates 
1, the size and shape of the Commercial. Six hundred bushels per acre 
have been no unusual yield, and this quantity has been frequently sur- 
is passed. Seventeen years ago I introduced the Prizetaker onion, and in all 
| that time I have not found a single variety that could equal, let alone 
Surpass it, in any way, until now. I take great pleasure in offering my 
customers Maule’s New Commercial Onion, a variety that I am satis- 
if fied will prove fully as popular and equally as desirable. As this is only 
the third year for the Commercial the seed is naturally scarce.

May King Lettuce. 
The sensational Lettuce of Germany. The most popular lettuce 
today in the markets of Berlin, Leipsic, Frankfort, ete. It has solid 
round heads, and will bear transportation better than almost any 
other variety. For early spring planting in the open ground it is 
unequalled. The plants grow 6 to7 inches in diameter; the outer 
leaves are so closely folded, the plant is practically all head. It is 
hardy, as well as very early, and a quick grower. Leaves are a light 
green, the outer leaves slightly tinged with brown, inner leaves a 
bright yellow. In flavor it is particularly rich, buttery and tender. 
May King is certainly worthy the prominent position I have given it 
in this catalogue. ;
