Maule's Prizetaker Onion 



I have, personally, looked in various parts of Europe and America for an onion surpassing Prizetaker in beaut: 

 productiveness and general merit, and believe tliere is nothing better in the whole v*/orld, unless it be 

 the Commercial. Prizetaker is unexcelled either for home use or as a money maker. 



Headquarters Stock can be obtained only from Wm, Henry Maule 



I named and introduced this great onion in 1888, and ever 

 since have given it special prominence in every catalogue I 

 have issued. Today, twenty-five years after it was named by 

 me, it will be found prominently illustrated in almost every 

 catalogue. Some call it Smith's Prizetaker, Brown's Prize- 

 taker, and Robinson's Prizetaker; but no matter how many 

 seedsmen put their names in front of Prizetaker, there is only 

 one Prizetaker, and that is JNIaule's, named and introduced 

 by me, and for live years catalogued by myself exclusively. 



Prizetaker is by far the handsomest, most productive, most 

 popular and best of all 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 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; quarter 



without stiffness of the neck. In market it never fails 

 attract attention on account of its beauty, and is sure to biii; 

 a far better price than any other onion. It is even more ;i 

 tractive in appearance than the large Spanish onions sold c 

 the city fruit stands— in fact, takes the place of that variety. 

 My predictions made years ago, at the time of its introdu 

 tion, that Prizetaker would supplant all others of its class, hi 

 long since been verified. It has attracted more attention ar. 

 awakened wider and more cordial enthusiasm, than any oth 

 onion ever introduced to the American public. It has provi 

 itself a great acquisition to farmers and gardeners, and 

 today admitted to be the largest, fiiiest flavored and mo 

 superior Yellow Globe Onion under cultivation.

Yellow Welsh Onion 



This Is a bunch onion of the same character as the 

 White Welsh, except that while the Hesh is white 

 the skin is a yellowish brown in color. While it la a 

 desirable variety in some markets, It has not the 

 handsome pearly white appearance, nor Is It as mild 

 In flavor as the White Welsh. It is e.xtremely hardy 

 and for this reason I recommend that it be planted 

 wherever the winters are severe.

WELSH ONION,

 Pearly white in appearance and mild in flavor it 

 a most desirable bunch onion for market gardens

 very early in the Spring, before seeds or sets a

 which are quite attractive and coming in a seasc 

 ■when green stuff is scarce. It is a money make 

 and will be appreciated where an early green buD' 

 onion Is in demand. Being very hardy, requiri: 

 no winter mulching. Authorities everywhere lecoi 

 mend this variety, and market gardeners will fi) 

 It an exceedingly profitable crop.
