existing, in beauty, size and productiveness. If you do reasonably well you should grow 
1 ooo bushels per acre, and every bushel will sell for more money than a bu.shel of the older 
v irletics You can grow a good, crop of Prizetakers even in a dry season when other sorts 
are a failure. A coi?espondent in l^arm and Fireside, says: It is ahead of any domestic 
onion 1 have ever seen, and finer than anything I ever expected to grow. It is very seldom
