Prizetaker is at once the largest and most handsome of all American Onions, and is renowned every- 

 where. It is grown with great success in al-l 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; 

 ihe half grown bulbs in early Dummer, aj.d 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 Euope. 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 Horticultural 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, veryrnuch esteemed for 

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

The fast year 1 sowed Henderson's Prizetaker onion seed and I must 



^ny that I was well pleased. I guess every seed 1 planted grew and 



from one ounce of seed 1 had three bushels of fine onions left 



ajler keeping all the neighbors supplied with green onions. AB 



seeds I got from you were good," 



JOSEPH COURTNEY, Scotia, N. Y. ' 



"/ will say that Henderson's Prizetaker onions are th* 

 finest 1 have ever grown and the germination is excelteut."

This is one of the largest of the 

 British sorts, and is used very e%-. 

 tensively in private gardens both 

 for ordinary use and for exhibition 

 purposes. European Onions do 

 not, as a rule, grow well in Amer- 

 ica until thoroughly acclimated. 

 This variety has proved to be 

 an exception, and has done well 

 since its first appear- 

 ance here. Grown 

 from seed raised under 

 our supervision, it has 

 become one of the larg- 

 est and most useful 

 Onions. Gardeners fre- 

 quently bring us very 

 large specimens, grown 

 for exhibition, five 

 inches in diameter and 

 weighing two pounds 

 apiece. 



The skin is dark 

 straw color, the fleshi 

 pure white, very mild 

 in flavor, and always 

 quite tender. 



We do not advise its 

 use for keeping. Our 

 Globe varieties and 

 Prizetaker are better.
