The Famous Prizetaker Onion 
46: 
MAGNIFICENT: IN’ SIZE—DELIGHTFULLY MILD IN FLAVOR—A MATCHLESS KEEPER 
SUCCEEDS IN ALL SECTIONS OF THE U. S. 
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 pur- 
poses—-the young plants ’as salad; the half grown bulbs in earl: 
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 Horticultural Society of 
England. 
Not only does it grow io a large size, but uniformly so. The shape 
is true globe, bros id 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 wonder- 
fully solid. The outer skin is rather pale yellow, the flesh pure-white 
throughout. It is extremely mild in flavor, very much esteemed for 
slicing, baking and boiling, in fact, in whatever way it is prepared, 
it is unsurpassed. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $149
