Prizetaker 
Beautiful Color—Ideal Size—Uni¬ 
form Shape—Exceptionally Good 
Keeper—Wonderful Flavor—Always 
at Its Best. 
Unexcelled for Home Use or the 
Market. 
Genuine Prizetaker Onion has 
proved itself to be one of the hand¬ 
somest and most productive large 
Yellow Globe Onions which are 
grown extensively today. It grows 
as easily as any other sort, and 
can be used for all purposes—the 
young plants as salad, the half- 
grown bulbs in early summer, and 
the perfect mature Onion practical¬ 
ly at all times, for it keeps so well 
that it may be used almost the year 
around. It is esteemed not only in 
America, but in foreign countries. 
Soon after its introduction it was 
exhibited in London, and in the 
keenest competition with the products of the most skillful growers, earned 
an “Award of Merit” from the Royal Horticultural Society of England. Not 
only does it grow to a large size, but uniformly so. The shape is true globe, 
broad at the base, tapering sharply at the top. It is so well bred that the tops 
dry down entirely when it ripens, leaving a clean, sound bulb, perfect in form, 
rich in color, and wonderfully solid. The outer skin is rather pale yellow, the 
flesh pure white throughout. It is extremely mild in flavor, very much esteemed 
for slicing, baking and boiling: in fact, in whatever way it is prepared, it is un¬ 
surpassed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; V4 lb. 65c; Vz lb. $1.20; lb. $2.00; 2 lbs. 
$3.50, postpaid. 
New Denia 
Large, Productive, Sweet, Attractive, 
Mild Flavor. Sometimes Called an Im¬ 
proved Prizetaker But It Would Take 
Two Prizetakers to Mcike One Denia. 
The New Denia is a wonderful onion, 
of beautiful color, uniform shape, heavy 
weight and sweet, mild flavor. With 
the exception of New Sweet Spanish, 
this is the heaviest onion ever grown. 
Very handsome and productive, of per¬ 
fect globe shape which always comes 
very uniform. Color bright, clear, 
straw yellow. Have very little neck, 
but ripen up firm and solid. A won¬ 
derfully good keeper for so early a 
variety. Flesh is pure white, very fine 
grain and so sweet that it makes a 
splendid sort to use in salads and other 
ways without cooking. Equally desir¬ 
able for the home garden or for one 
who grows for the market. Send to 
us for choicest stock seed. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; 2 oz. 40c; Vi lb. 65c; Vz lb. 
$1.20; lb. $2.25; 2 lbs. $4.25, postpaid. 
Pedigree Large Red Wethersfield 
Deep Purplish Red Color. Mild, Good Size, Flat. 
The bulbs are large, flattened, but quite thick, with rich 
dark purplish skin and pure white flesh of good mild flavor. 
Our stock is saved from carefully selected bulbs only, and 
produces larger crops than any other American red onion 
and these bulbs keep better than those of any other sort. 
Our strain of Red Wethersfield is the earliest and most pro¬ 
lific known, and has proven a great money-maker to the 
grower. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; Vi lb. 60c; Vz lb. 
$1.10; lb. $2.00; 2 lbs. $3.75, postpaid. 
Golden Sweet Spanish Onion 
Color is a light yellow or straw color, the flesh pure white 
of very fine grain and exceptionally sweet. As Denia is 
nearly twice the size of Prizetaker, eo is our new 
Sweet Spanish twice the size of Denia. We have 
seen 7 Sweet Spanish Onions set side by side on a 
yardstick and reach from end to end. These same 
7 Onions weighed over 16 lbs. An exceptionally 
good keeper, and if allowed to dry thor¬ 
oughly, will stand shipping long dis¬ 
tances. The size, however, is not the 
best feature—it is its sweet mild flavor.
