PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



Prizetaker Onion. 



The Grandest Variety Grown 



for the American Climate. 



EXCELS IN YIELD— EXCELS IN SIZE. 



Its Mildness of Flavor and Tenderness Are Unequalled 

 Even by the Bermuda Varieties. 



"THE PRIZETAKER ONION is recognized as one 

 ■*■ of our best standard varieties. 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 excep- 

 tionally good culture. Its immense size and mild- 

 ness of flavor delight everyone who raises it. 

 Nothing short of actual knowledge of this variety 

 will convey a really adequate idea of its great 

 value, whether considered as a variety for com- 

 mercial 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 medium early in 

 maturing. {See cut.) Price, 20c. oz., 60c. \ lb., 

 $1.90 lb. (10 lbs. and upwards, $1.80 lb.) 



" / cannot speak too highly of your Prizetaker Onion, which 

 yielded at the rate of 1,200 bushels per acre. They were perfect in 

 shape and very large, many specimens reaching 16 to 18 inches 

 in circumference, one in particular being 18J inches around. I 

 desire to compliment you for the true merit all your seed possesses." 

 JAMES TORRANCE, Oreano, Idaho. 



I planted your Prizetaker Onion last spring, the yield was 

 immense, at least double that of yellow Globe Danvers, groun 

 under same conditions." S. GRAFF, Johnstown, N. Y. 



I wish you could have seen my Pri'etaker Onion grown 

 from your seed and raised at the rate of 1,450 bushels per acre." 

 A. S. PARSON, Garden City, Kansas.

 the finest I ever grew; large sized, large even size, mild and desirable 

 flavor." JOSEPH ATKINSON, Hawley, Pa. 



White Portugal or Silver Skin Onion. 



The leading White Flat Onion. 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. It is not only early, but 

 is 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

 from you last year and raised the best crop ever." 



WILL H. BRONSON, St. Albans, Vt 



" / can get seeds right here, but I must say they are not to be compared to yours. Your 

 Onion Seed is excellent, the best I have ever used. 1 can raise double with your seed 

 than my neighbors can with same amount of seed from other people. I have raised 

 1.400 bushels of your Red Wethersfield Onion to the acre." 



JAMES W. HANDLEY, Claremont, N. H. 



HENDERSON'S 



Hollow Crown Parsnip. 



"THIS is a highly improved type producing uniformly large and 

 ■ handsome roots of stocky form, heavy at the shoulder, well 

 rounded, gradually tapering to the base, so that they are easily dug. 

 and if grown in properly pulverized soil, the surface will be smooth 

 and unusually free from wrinkles and side roots. _The flesh is of fine 

 texture, free from core and stringiness. The roots ma) 7 remain in 

 the ground all winter, being hardy, or some may be dug late in the 

 fall and stored in sand or soil, so that they can be gotten at easily 

 when the ground is frozen. This Parsnip is the heaviest cropper of 

 all and we recommend it to market gardeners. {See cut.) Price 

 10c. oz., 15c. J lb., 40c. lb. 



" / plant Henderson's Seeds and I was the only one of Muncie's Gardeners that had 

 any Parsnips this winter. Your Hollow Crown surpasses any Parsnip I have ever 

 used." WILL H. BROWN, Muncie, lnd.
