' * Prizetaker ' ' Onion. 



a 



PRIZETAKER" ONION. 



The grandest variety for the American climate. 



Its mildness of flavor and tenderness are unequaled even by 



the Bermuda varieties. 

 In size it is not excelled by the enormous varieties from Spain. 



Henderson's "Prizetaker" Onion has now been several years on the market and 

 is recognized as one of our best standard varieties. Earely has any vegetable attained 

 prominence more rapidly. 



Nothing 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 easily grown, medium early in maturing, mild in flavor. 

 "Prizetaker" onions, grown from our seed, received an award of merit from 

 jSfes, the Boyal Horticultural Society of England.

We could fill pages with praise of our Prizetaker Onion from our 

 enthusiastic customers similar to the following: 

 " With same mail I send you a sample of Prizetaker onion raised from seeds pur- 

 chased of you. I am perfectly satisfied with the result, as I hare a crop of 80 bushels 

 from a % lb. seed." PBANK BEYER, Gardenville, Erie Co., N. Y. 



" The yield of your Prizetaker onion is immense, at least double that of the yellour 

 Danvers, side by side." S. GBAFF, Johnstown, N. Y. 



"The Prizetaker onion has done well — they are nearly as large as Ponderosa, 

 tomatoes." JOHN BETZ, St. Mary's Seminary, Greensburg, Pa. 



" My Prizetaker onions are a perfect crop — both for size and quality." 



BOBEET BIBCH. Plymouth, Mich. 

 " Your Prizetaker onions produced a wonderful crop. The season toas excessively 

 dry, yet many of the onions measured 11^ inches in circumference. The warm weather 

 this fall canned all other varieties to sprout, but Prizetaker Itas not yet shown a green, 

 sprout. Its mildness of flavor, immense size and a good keeper surely render it a per. 

 feet vegetable." Prof. EDWIN L. HALL, Hiram College, Hiram, Ohio. 



" The Prizetaker onion seed you sent me beat anything I ever saw produced^ espe- 

 cially when we had to contend with the drought." W. E. HOBBAN, 



Walnut Grove Farm, Bowling Green, Ky. 

 "I was pleased, indeed, roith the result from your Prizetaker onion seed ; some of 

 the onions measured nearly fourteen inches in circumference, whicli we thought quite 

 remarkable, as the seeds were not sown until late in May." 



Mrs. JOHN KLIPPEL, Bath, Maine.

 Peppers. It is particularly 

 sweet and mild, being 

 thicker in flesh than any 

 other Bort and enormously 

 productive. We know of no 

 pepper equal to it in quality 

 and productiveness. It is 

 strikingly handsome, of 

 medium size, very solid 

 and " meaty." and of sweet, 

 sprightly flavor, entirely 

 free from any biting or 

 burning taste. (See cut.)

HENDERSON'S " COCXTY FAIR" PEPPER. 



Henderson's " Calhoun " Pumpkin. 



The outside color is a creamy brown ; the inside flesh is a deep Balmon yellow ; the flesh 

 is wonderfully thick and fiue-grained, and the seed cavitv very email. It cooks very yellow 

 and makes pies of a high rich color and of the finest quality. This variety is entirely fixed 

 in its character, every specimen being uniformly of the shape shown in the engraving. Any 

 one using the Calhoun Pumpkin once will never use anv other variety, so superior is it in 

 quality. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 26c. oz., 60c. % lb., $1.50 lb.
