ONION MINNESOTA GLOBE 
LONGEST KEEPER OF ALL ONIONS 
Ailsa Craig 
Onion 
Minnesota Globe is the result of over 30 years of selection. 
THe s bulbs are of beautiful appearance, real dark and real 
bright red, a slightly elongated globe, a shape superior to any 
other globe shaped onion now in existence. 
Minnesota Globe will keep in storage till June without 
sprouting, an absolute fact established by us by actual trial 
extending over four years. This cannot be said about any 
other onion and makes Minnesota Globe the longest keeping 
of ALL onions. 
When a grocer or commission man buys Minnesota Globe 
and finds that there is no waste, that his onions stay solid and 
uiisprouted, he certainly will want Minnesota Globe and no 
other Red Globe. 
The above are absolute facts. All that will grow Minne¬ 
sota Globe will gain as the buyers will be glad to pay a 
slight premium for so valuable an onion. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 
lb. $3.80, prepaid.

PRIZETAKER ONION 
Prizetaker is of excellent quality, of attractive appear¬

clear straw color and as mild in flavor as the imported Span¬ 
ish onions. No other onion ever met with such universal fa¬ 
vor and became popular as rapidly as Prizetaker. It is the 
best onion for size, mildness of flavor, keeping qualities as 
well as large yield, and succeeds well everywhere, North, 
South, East and West. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 14 lb. 75c; 1 lb.

The bulbs are very uniform in size, shape almost globular, with 
sulphur yellow skin, neck very small, the interior white, fine grained, 
flavor mild and sweet and a good keeper. Ailsa Craig is in every 
way as large and handsome as the finest imported Spanish Onion 
and superior to it on account of its remarkable keeping and very 
heavy yielding qualities. To attain the greatest possible size this 
variety should be sown early in the spring in a hot bed and trans¬ 
planted later in the open. Ailsa Craig is a variety of English prize 
winning stock. Anyone wanting an extra large fine looking onion, 
especially for exhibition purposes, should plant Ailsa Craig. Pkt.
