The wonderful new onion that has become so popular 
years. It ^rowa to an immense size. Crops of over l,lO0 bushels have been 
raised on a singrle acre. Prizetakcr is a globe shaped variety, skin of a bright 
straw color, flesh white, sweet, tender and very mild. T. Grcenier the wcll-ltnown 
authority on onions says: It excels every onion now eicistinj? in beauty, size and 
productiveness. If you do reasonably well, you should grrow l OOO bushels 
per acre, and every bushel will sell for more money than a bushel of the older vari- 
eties. Yon can grow a good crop of Prizetakers even in r dry season when other 
•orts are a failure. A correspondent in Farm and Fireside, savs: It is ahead of 
any domestic onion I have ever seen, and finer than anythinjr I ever ex- 
pected to g-row. It is very seldom that we come across a novelty that marks 
such a lone: step in advance In the culture of vegetables. Thousands of others 
testify just as strongly as the above and we cannot too highly recommend 
•nr strain of Prizetaker to our patrons. Fkt.60, oz. 20c,^lb.46c, lb. $1.60.

MAY'S STTLTAN.— Of a bright yellow in color, a trifle darker than

globe sort for general cultivation. This variety was first introdnced
