PLANT STOKES SEEDS FOR THE VERY BEST VEGETABLES 



ONION 



One-half ounce of seed plants 100 feet of row; 

 4 pounds plant an acre 



(Allium Cepa.) Native of western Asia. One of the vegetables which has been under cultivation from the 

 most remote times. 



Mammoth Yellow Prizetaker 



1887 



The best of the old Spanish types 



Days to maturity, 110. Introduced by Johnson & 

 Stokes in 1887 as Spanish King Prizetaker. When fully 

 matured it will average 4 inches in diameter. The color 

 of the outside skin is a rich yellow, while the flesh inside 

 is white, mild, and sweet. Under special cultivation 

 these bulbs have been known to weigh as much as 5 

 pounds apiece. As an Onion for fall and early winter 

 use, Mammoth Yellow Prizetaker is very highly recom- 

 mended. It will prove, however, to be a good winter 

 keeper, such as the Southports or as Yellow Globe 

 Danvers. On muck soil Prizetaker has a tendency to 

 become soft, and we would warn against its use as a 

 muck crop. See colored photograph opposite. Price, 

 delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; y 4 lb. 50 cts.; lb. 

 $1.75; 5 lbs. or more, $1.65 per lb. 



Southport White Globe. SSUy! 



110. The standard type grown in large quantities for 

 commercial purposes. In size and shape it is similar to 

 the Yellow Globe and in color it is crystal white, the 

 inside flesh also being pure white. This is, perhaps, the 

 most desirable table variety as its flavor is extremely 

 mild. Price, delivered. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; y 4 lb. 

 75 cts.; lb. $3; 5 lbs. or more, $2.75 per lb.

old European variety develops an Onion slightly over 

 3 inches in diameter, with a depth of about V/2 inches.

Ebenezer or Japanese 



Days to maturity, 98. This Onion has had a renewal 

 of life by its reintroduction under the name of Japanese 

 four years ago. As a matter of fact, it has been known 

 in New York state under the name of Ebenezer for a 

 number of years, being especially popular in the 

 western part of the State. There are several reasons for 

 its popularity : It has great keeping qualities and 

 * is mild and tender for table purposes; the 



, Onions are remarkably firm and solid; in shape 

 y they are very similar to the older Round Yel- 

 low Danvers which were medium flat. Full size 

 Onions may be grown from either seed or sets. 

 Ebenezer sets are available in some quarters.
