First offered in WK and it proves to be the greatest acquisition in years. THE 

 LARGEST, HANDSOMEST, FINEST FLAVORED, BEST 

 SHAPED, FINEST KEEPING, MOST SUPERIOR, YELLOW 

 GLOBE ONION EVER INTRODUCED. This simply magnificent onion 

 Is certainly a wonder. There has never been an onion in these United 

 States that could equal it, and I believe it will supplant all other 

 Yellow Globe Onions now in cultivation, as soon as its sterling 

 qualities are known, for it is certainly perfection. Of a clean, bright straw 

 color, it always grows to a uniform shape, which is a perfect globe. It has a 

 very small neck and always ripens up hard and flue, without any stiff-necks. In 

 market it attracts marked attention, and although only offered to a limited 

 extent, has always been picked out and selected at three times the price of any 

 other sort on sale, either red, white or yellow. It will readily produce 700 and 

 more bushels per acre, and its keeping qualities are simply wonderful; late in 

 the Spring the Bulbs being apparently as firm and solid as when put away in the 

 Fall. I regret very much indeed that my supply of seed of Prizetaker is still 

 limited, hence have to ask a very high price for it. I expected to have this year 

 3,000 pounds of seed at least, but it is such a very shy seeder, that we only 

 harvested less than 1,000 pounds ; until this year Prizetaker has never sold less 

 than 'Jo cents per packet. Packet, 15c; ounce[ 60c; % povmd, $2.00 ; pound, S6.00. 



J reserve the right to decline all orders for quantities of% "pound and upiuards 

 as soon as my supply of Prizetaker becomes reduced to less than 50 pounds.

How i$ Ikis for & M^mmolK Onion ? 



Mr. W. A. Rice. Arroyo Grande, Cal. sent me last September a Prizetaker weighing 

 6 lbs , 2 OZ6., and secured the ?100 premium. The receipt of Onions weighing 5 lbs. 

 nnd nver, was almost a daily occurrence last Fall, and nothing in our whole 

 Vegetable display last October seemed to impress visitors to our store so much ns 

 our Mammoth Prlzetakers. Arroyo (irande, Cal. certainly carries off the palm for 

 producing the largest Onions in the country. 



That popular publication, the Orrhard nnd Garden, for November, contained the 

 following* "The finest Onion we have ever raised is M iule's Pi izetaker, as beautl- 

 tul and as large as the Spanish Onion on sale at our fruit stands, and surpassing, by 



far. the excellent Spanish I Minn sent out by it . The Prizetaker in short 



is the acme of beamy anil perfection, and will undoubtedly become the most popular 

 yellow onion in cultivation. Mar.v what we say. 



That excellent paper Popular Gardening for Nov., 1889. contained the following : 



"Note from the Popular Gardening Grounds at la Sallc-on-thc-Xianara. A 

 Prizetakep. We nlways try every new Onion that we hear of, and the older 

 ones, too. This season again we had a great number of varieties, among them 

 Silver King Mammoth Pompeii, Spanish King, and various othev mammoth 

 sorts. Owing to the new condition of the soil, lateness of the season, and lack 

 of various requisites at the proper time, our success was nothing to brag about, 

 although we have a fair crop. Among the score or more oi choicest sorts, 

 however none can hold the candle to Prizetaker, a variety introduced last year 

 by Mr Wm H. Maule. Our specimens last ye ar w ere the finest Onions we ever 

 raised equalling in size and beauty the imported Spanish Onions of our fruit 

 stores and groceries, and our experience with them this year only strengthens 

 our good opinion of it. A few rows grown with good care, but otherw ise by no 

 means under the most favorable circumstances, gave us bulbs the smallest of 

 which weighed over one-half of a pound each, and which \ lelded at the rate 

 of over W00 bushels per acre. With special care we think we could even double 

 this yield and propose to do this next year. Its name is undoubtedly proper. 

 No o*Iher variety can take the prize at any exhibition in competition wnh a 

 well-grown Prizetaker ; at least this is the conclusion of two seasons' trials v. ith 



] it. It has proved itself" to he the Oni on par excellence." 



A W Punoan Van Wort. Ohio : "The Prizetaker Onion beats anything I ever 



1 saw in the onion line. I put the seed in the ground the hist week in April and they 

 are still growing, they are very large. I want the Prizetaker every tune .
