THE FAMOUS 



Prizetaker 

 Onion 



Magnificent in Size 



Delightfully Mild in Flavor 



A Matchless Keeper 



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 per- 

 fect quality. 



It grows as easily as any other sort, 

 and can be used for all purposes' — the 

 young plants as salad; the half grown 

 bulbs in early summer; and the perfect, 

 mature Onion practically at all times, for 

 it keeps so well that it may be used almost 

 the year around. 



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 Horti- 

 cultural 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, very much 

 esteemed for slicing, baking and boiling, in fact in whatever way it 

 is prepared, it is unsurpassed. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 

 50c. Va lb., $1.75 lb. 



Skin Onion 



This is beyond doubt the very best Onion for general use during 

 the spring, summer and autumn. We do not esteem it so highly 

 for winter use, as it is excelled by other sorts for keeping purposes. 

 But it is so excellent in every other respect that we urge every gar- 

 dener to make a liberal sowing of White Portugal for continuous 

 use, leaving the crops intended for keeping purposes intact. There 

 are none that yield more delicious "scallions," or young plants for 

 salad purposes, none which are more suited to boiling during the 

 growing season, and none so generally esteemed for their mild, delight- 

 ful flavor. Should there be any small bulbs left in the row at the 

 end of the season they may be used for pickles. Always, under all 

 conditions, it is appetizing and wholesome. {See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. }i lb-, $3.00 lb. 



" We like your White Portugal very much for a summer Onion. It grows quickly 

 and is mild and tender either boiled or sliced. " 



Mrs. J. P. VOORHEES, Plainfield, N. J.
