My attention 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 Prize- 
taker and breeding them down to a size that he considered more mer- 
chantable. His efforts have been rewarded by securing an onion fully as 
handsome as the Prizetaker in every way; of more uniform size, and whose 
keeping qualities were simply remarkable and decidedly superior to the 
parent variety. The picture above well illustrates the size, shape and beau-

been no unusual yield, and this quantity has been frequently surpassed. Six- 
teen 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 for the 
first time Maule’s New Commercial Onion, a variety that Iam satisfied 
will prove fully as popular and equally as desirable. As this is the first 
year for the Commercial the seed is naturally scarce; but I am very glad 
to be able to offer it in pound lots at a very reasonable price for a brand 
new sort. 
Packet, cents; lounce, 50 cents; Quarter pound, $1.50; one pound, $5.00.
