ONION. 



Its mildness of flavor and tenderness are unequalled. 



"7~HE Prizetaker Onion is recognized as one of our best standard 

 1 varieties. Rarely has any vegetable attained prominence 

 more rapidly ; it succeeds everywhere — east, -west, north and 

 south — and whether grown for home use or for marketing it gives 

 universal satisfaction, yielding onions often 14 inches around 

 and at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per acre — often much 

 more under exceptionally good culture. Its immense size and 

 mildness of flavor delight every one. 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 unex- 

 celled. The exterior color is pale yellow, and the interior clear 

 sparkling white. It is easily grown, medium earlv in maturing, 

 mild in flavor. By sowing early in a sheltered spot and trans- 

 planting the voung plants, it can be grown to an immense size.

Award of Merit from the Koyal Horticultural 



Society of England. 



WHITE PORTUGAL 



OR SILVER SKIN ONION. 



The leading White Flat Onion. For the family garden it is one 

 of the best. The bulbs attain a good size, ripening evenly; the 

 color is a beautiful silvery-white when cured under cover. Its 

 shape is flat but symmetrical. For a white variety it is not 

 only early but a good keeper. For slicing and boiling it is 

 one of the best, the flesh being mild and tender. It is largely 

 grown for pickles when sown three or four times as thick as 

 usual and is also extensively sown for sets. (See cut.)
