F»RIZEXAKER 



American Gro«u. 



THIS is the large, beautiful onion that is seen 

 every fall offered for sale at the fruit stores 

 in Baltimore and other large cities. It has 

 a rich straw color, and is of enormous size. Al- 

 though of such large size, it is very hardy and 

 an excellent keeper. The flavor is mild and deli- 

 cate, making the Prizetaker a favorite variety 

 for salads. By sowing this sort early you can 

 raise a large crop of large onions the fi'rst season 

 with very little trouble. All that is necessary is 

 good ground, proper cultivation, and not to have 

 them too thick. Those of our growers who have 

 tried this variety have had remarkably fine suc- 

 cess. Pkt., 5c. Oz., SOc. % lb., 40c. Lb., $1.50.
