Maults PRIZETAKER ONION 



First offered in 18S8, and it proves to be the greatest acquisition in years. 

 THE LARGEST, HANDSOMEST, FINEST FLAVORED, BEST 

 SHAPED, FINEST KEEPING, MOST SUPERIOR YELLOW 

 GLOBE ONION EVER INTRODUCED. This simply magnificent 



onion is certainly a wonder. There has never been an onion in these 

 United States that could equal it, and I believe it will supplant all other 

 Yellow Globe Onions now in cultivation, as soon as its sterling 

 qualities are known, for it is certainly perfection. Of a clean, bright straw 

 color, it always grows to a uniform shape, which is a perfect globe. It has a 

 very small neck and always ripens up hard and fine, without any stiff-necks. 

 In market it attracts marked attention, and although only offered to a limited 

 extent has always been picked out and selected at three times the prices of any 

 other sort on sale, either red, white or yellow. It will readily produce 700 and 

 more bushels per acre, and its keeping qualities are simply wonderful ; late in 

 the Spring the bulbs being apparently as firm and solid as when put away in 

 the Fall. I regret very much indeed that my supply of seed of Prizetaker is. if 

 anytliing, smaller than last season, so I can offer it in small packets only ; but 

 next year I hope to have several thousand pounds, and trust to be able to offer 

 it in quantity. Pkt., 25 cts. each ; 5 pkts., SI. 00 ; 12 pkts., S2.00. Not more than 

 12 pkts. to one customer. 



O. S Moon Spring Vallev, Minn : "The Prizetaker Onion is. I think, the hand- 

 somest shape and finest flavored onion I ever raised. They take the lead for 

 vellow onions, and vour Red Wetliersfie.d for red onions." _

 Seeds I ever had. Prizetaker standing at the head, and Danvers. Silver Skin and 

 Red Wethersfield next in order." . _

 tomers think it is impossible for them to fail to come up. Prizetaker Onions are

WHO 



CAN RAISE THE LARGEST 

 PRIZETAKER IN 



1889? 



Whoever succeeds in doing so will be entitled to $100 October 1st. 



Last September, F. Roberts, Arroyo Grande, Cal., sent me the finest onion 1 

 believe ever raised in America. It weighed 4 pounds 12 ounces, and last 

 October I sent him my check for $100 for raising it. Let every purchaser try 

 their best to surpass it and secure this S100, and I believe it can be done. 



That popular publication, the Orchard and garden for November contained 

 the following: "The finest Onion we have ever raised is Maule's Prizetaker, as beau- 

 tiful and as large as the Spanish Onion on sale at our fruit stands, and surpassing, by 



far, the excellent Spanish Onion sent out by & . The Prizetaker, in 



short is the acme of beauty and perfection, and will undoubtedly become the most 

 popular yellow onion in .cultivation. Mark what we say."
