New Golden 
Prizetaker 
Unexcelled for Home Use or the Market. 
Genuine Prizetaker Onion has proved itself to be one of the handsomest and most pro¬ 
ductive 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 practically at all times, for 
it keeps so well that it may he used almost the year around. It is esteemed not only In 
America, but in foreign countries. Soon after its introduction it was exhibited in Lon¬ 
don, 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 lb 
ripens, leaving a clean, sound bulb, perfect hr 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 unsurpassed. Postpaid, pkt. 10c; oz. 22c; 14 lb. 84c; ‘/a Ib.
