THE 

 FAMOUS 



PRIZETAKER ONION 



Excels in Yield, Excels in Size, Excels in Keeping Qualities 

 its mildness of flavor and tenderness are unequalled 



The Prizetaker Onion is recognized as one of our best standard varieties. Rarely 

 has any vegetable attained prominence more rapidly; it succeeds everj'-where — 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 unexcelled. The exterior color is pale yellow, and the interior clear sparkling 

 white. It is easily grown, medium early in maturing, mild in flavor. By sowing 

 early in a sheltered spot and transplanting the young plants, it can be grown to 

 an immense size. (See cut.)

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 shcing 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.)
