MAULE'S PRIZETAKER ONION. 



First offered in 1888, and has has proven the greatest acquisition in years. Has been universally endorsed by every one who 

 has tried it as the largest, handsomest, finest flavored, most superior Yellow Globe Onion ever introduced. There has never 

 been an Onion in these United States that could equal it ; seven years ago I made the prediction that it would supplant all other 

 Yellow Globe Onions in cultivation as soon as its sterling qualities were known, and this has come to pass. Maule's Prize- 

 taker has excited more favorable notice from the agricultural press and progressive gardeners in all parts of the country than 

 any other variety. Prizetaker is of a bright, clean straw color, and always grows to a uniform shape, which is a perfect 

 globe. Has a very small neck, and always ripens up large and fine without any stiff neck. In market it attracts marked 

 attention, and is sure to bring two or three times the price of any other, either red", w hite or yellow, for Pri/.etaker is more at- 

 tractive in appearance, thau the large Spanish Onions imported and sold in large cities for many years at fabulous prices. 

 With ordinary cultivation frequently yields 700 to 800 bushels per acre, and with extra care and 'attention often runs up to 

 1,000 bushels per acre. Mr. Greiner has frequently been quoted as praising Prizetakcr in the highest terms, so that many of 

 my friends will likely be interested in hearing what he has to say about it after several season's experience. 



1 <,0 " s ider Prlzetaker fittingly characterized bv me in issk as the 

 King oi All unions," has not yet. found its peer. It excels every onion 

 now existing, m beauty, size and productiveness, and equals the best 



m quality, being as mild in flavor as the Imported Span ish Union of Our 

 groceries. Do you wanl to make money In onion growing? Plant the 

 I rizetaker; if you arc after the largest, prollts, plant none but the Prl/.e- 

 S *" it (;isll >' :U1<1 most proiitahlv dispense with all others. 

 I hint it on the plan now gciierallv known as, 'The New Union Cul- 

 ture, and you will make more money than von ever did in onion crow- 

 ing before. I he I'rlzetaker sells. The small and medium sized speci- 

 mens go Tor \ ellow Dan vers, the large ones von can crate and sell for 

 Spanish Unions. If you do only reasonably well, vou should grow 1,000 

 bushels per acre, and every bushel of this crop will sell for more nionev 

 ban a bushel of the old varieties. I have been enthusiastic over the 

 I ri /.eta Her ever since Its introduction. During Hie six vears that I have 

 grown it, more or less extensively, my enthusiasm lias been steadllv 

 growing, and after this season's experience, which proves the 

 I rizetaker also the best onion to resist drought, I am readv to give up 

 all other varieties for the i'rlzetaker, and nm only sorrv that I have not 

 • lone so years ago. It would have Increased mv protlts In t lie business 

 Hundreds of dollars. Vou can grow a good crop of Prizetakers even in 

 a dry season, when all other sorts are dwarfed and a failure. In short, 

 the 1 rizetaker is the onion for me. T. GREINER, La Nallc, N. Y. 



It will lie seen from this letter that Mr. Greiner is ns enthusiastic as 

 ever concerning Prlzetaker. His experience has bt en the same as that 

 of more than 7f>,000 people to whom I have sold seed of this variety du- 

 ring t he last seven years. Last season I traveled more than 7,000 miles in 

 Europe, as far east as Buda Pesth, as far north as Berlin, and as far 

 south as Gibraltar ; but nowheres in all Kurope was I able to find so 

 handsome a yellow onion as I'rlzetaker, nor one that anywheres near 

 approached it. I am glad to be able to offer Prlzetaker this season at 

 more reasonable prices than ever before. I have harvested a larger 

 crop than ever, and as long as the seed holds out, I will be pleased to of- 

 fer it at the following low prices: 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; ){ lb., 60 cents; 

 lb., $2.25; 5 lbs., $10.00, postpaid.
