aide's Select Onion Seed 



From the earliest times to the present day, Onions have been used as an article o! food, and are, perhaps, mort 

 universally grown than any other vegetable. Our select strains are annually used by many ot the largest onioi 

 growers, for whom they have yielded highly satisfactory returns and proved a big money making crop. 



Culture. — Onions do best on a rich loam, previously cultivated for 

 two years. Stiff clay and light sand are equally unfavorable. The land 

 should be highly fertilized with well-rotted manure, complete fertiliz- 

 ers, etc. Fresh stable manure has a tendency to produce soft onions. 

 For dry (fall) onions a packet will sow about 50 feet of drill, an ounce 

 about 300 feet, 4 to 5 lbs. of seed per acre. Sow in drills 12 to 18 inches 

 apart as early in spring as possible and cover one-half inch deep. When 

 large enough thin to 2 inches apart. If sets are wanted, sow seed thickly 



and don't thin out ; use 60 to SO lbs. of seed per acre. Six to ten busheli 

 of sets will plant an acre. Fine marketable size onions (according ti 

 variety planted) are easily produced the first year from early spring 

 sown seed, maturing in from 65 to 120 days. Culture should be frequem 

 though shallow. The same ground may be used for onions, season aftei 

 season, if well fertilized annually. Bone meal is an excellent fertilizer 

 Winter storage demands dryness and protection from sudden changes 

 Onions should never be handled while frozen. 



Maule's Prizetaker Onion 



The Largest, Most Productive, Mild Flavored Yellow Globe Onion in Existence 



We named and introduced this great onion in 1888, and ever 

 since have given it special prominence in every catalogue we 

 have issued. Today, thirty-one years after it was named by 

 us, it will be found in almost every seedsman's catalogue. 



Prizetaker is by far the handsomest, most productive, most 

 popular and best of all Yellow Globe onions. It is a bright, 

 clear straw color, and always grows to a uniform shape, which 

 is a perfect globe. It has a very small neck, and ripens up 



firm and solid. In market it never fails to attract attentioi 

 on account of its beauty, and is sure to bring a far better prici 

 than auy other onion. Maule's Prizetaker has attractet 

 more attention and awakened wider and more cordial enthu 

 siasm than any other onion ever introduced to the America 1 ) 

 public. It is the largest, finest flavored and most superio 

 Yellow Globe onion under cultivation for either the homi 

 garden or market.
