P RIZET AKER :; Q NION 



The Grandest Variety Grown 

 for the American Climate 



EXCELS IN YIELD— EXCELS IN SIZE. 



Its Mildness of Flavor and Tenderness are Unequalled. 



THE PRIZETAKER ONION is recognized as one of our best 

 standard varieties. It succeeds everywhere — east, west, north 

 and south — and whether grown for home use or for m.arketing 

 it gives universal satisfaction, yielding onions often 14 inches 

 around and at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per acre — often 

 much more under exceptionally good culture. Its immense 

 size and mildness of flavor delight everyone who raises it. Noth- 

 ing short of actual knowledge of this variety will convey a 

 really adequate idea of its great value, whether considered as a 

 variety for commercial or private culture. Its immense size 

 will recommend it to all, particularly when it is known that its 

 keeping qualities are unexcelled. The exterior color is pale 

 yellow, and the interior clear sparkling white. It is medium 

 early in maturing. (See cut.) Price, 20c. oz., 55c. J lb., $1.80 lb. 

 :10 lbs. and upwards, $1.70 lb.) 



" I cannot speak too highly of your Prizetaker Onion, whichyielded at therateof 

 1.200 bushels per acre. They were perfect in shape and very large, many specimens 

 reaching 16 to 18 inches in circumference, one in particular being 18i inches 

 around. I desire to compliment you for the true 7nerit all your seed possesses." 



JAMES TORRANCE, Oreano, Idaho. 



" / planted your Prizetaker Onion last spring, the yield was immense, at least 

 double that of yellow Globe Danvers, grown under same conditions."

" The seed of Prizetaker Onion I got of you made the best onions I ever grew." 



W. H. HIGGINBOTHAM, Evelyn, Ga.
