PRIZETAKER ONIONS 



White Portugal, or Silver Skin. This variety is one 

 of the leading white sorts, and is of beautiful shape and very 

 mild flavor. The bulbs are flat in shape and mature early. 

 It is a splendid variety for both family use and the market 

 gardener, and is very- largely used for growing sets on account 

 of its fine shape when small, and also for its good keeping 

 qualities. It is also extensively used as a pickling onion, for 

 which purpose it seems to be finely adapted. Oz. , 15 cts.; 

 % lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50; 10 lbs. or more at $1.40 per lb.

 els to the acre, and always sells at high prices. It is best to

 from seed, and with ordinary culture 

 produce enormous crops. The onions 

 have been grown to weigh over 3 lbs. 

 each in weight, and where good soil and 

 culture is given them they will always 

 grow to a large size. Each year the 

 demand for pure seed of this beautiful 

 onion grows larger, and the onions 

 always meet with a ready sale on the 

 markets. Our seed is pure and the
