THE FAMOUS 



Prizetaker 

 Onion 



Magnificent in Size 



Delightfully Mild in Flavor 



A Matchless Keeper 



Prizetaker is at once the largest and 

 most handsome of all American Onions, 

 and is renowned everywhere. It is grown 

 with great success in all sections of the 

 country, and is one of the few vegetables 

 that attain great size, and still retain 

 perfect quality. 



It grows as easily as any other sort, 

 and can be used for all purposes — the 

 young plants as salad; the half grown 

 bulbs in early summer; and the perfect, 

 mature Onion practically at all times, for 

 it keeps so well that it may be used 

 almost the year round. 



It is esteemed not only in America, but 

 in Europe. Soon after its introduction, 

 it was exhibited in London, and in the 

 keenest competition with the products of 

 the most skilful growers, earned an 

 "Award of Merit" from the Royal Horti- 

 cultural Society of England. 



Not only does it grow to a large size, 

 but uniformly so. The shape is true globe, 

 broad at the base, tapering sharply at 

 the top. 



It is so well bred that the tops dry down 

 entirely when it ripens, leaving a clean, 

 sound bulb, perfect in form, rich in color, 

 and wonderfully solid. The outer skin is 

 rather pale yellow, the flesh pure white 

 throughout. It is extremely mild in flavor, 

 1 very much esteemed for slicing, baking 

 and boiling, in fact, in whatever way it is prepared, it is unsurpassed. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 83c. }i lb., $3.00 lb. 



"Last year I raised eight bushels of fine Prizelaker Onions on twelve rows of 

 twenty-five feet. They were a pretty sight in the row." 



F. H. YORKE, M.D., Foosland, III. 



"The Prizetaker and Yellow Globe Danvers Onions I grew from your seed 

 took first prize at Conner County Fair." 



Mrs. THOMAS JUDGE, Clarke Fork. Idaho. 



"I had some Prizetaker Onions from the seed I bought from you last year at 

 a contest on the Klh of March which took first prize." 



S. J. MORGAN, Alger, Ohio. 



Henderson's Superior Onion Sets 



In private gardens, the cultivation of the family supply of 

 Onions from sets has much to recommend it. The amount of 

 labor involved is less, the danger of loss from maggots and other 

 insects is considerably reduced, the crop is surer to grow, and is 

 ready for use weeks in advance of that grown from seed. On a 

 small scale where the cost of sets is not a serious item, we urge 

 customers to use them. In fact the ideal way is to use both sets 

 and seed — the sets for use in the spring and summer, and seed to 

 grow bulbs for winter keeping. We offer sets of the three standard 

 varieties mentioned below, the descriptions of which will be found 

 on page 39 of this catalogue.
