50 EVERYTHING FOR. THE GARDEN "Vegetable Seeds 
The Famous Prizetaker Onior 
MAGNIFICENT IN SIZE—DELIGHTFULLY MILD IN FLAVOR—A MATCHLESS KEEPER 
SUCCEEDS IN ALL SECTIONS OF THE U. S. 
Prizetaker is at once the largest and most handsome of all American 
Onions, and is renowned everywhere. It is grown with great success 
in all sections of the country, and is one of the few vegetables that 
attain great size, and still retain perfect quality. 
It grows as easily as any other sort, and can be used for all pur¬ 
poses--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 be used almost the year round. 
It is esteemed not only in America, but in Europe. Soon after 
its introduction, it was exhibited in London, and in the keenest 
competition with the products of the most skilful 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 wonder¬ 
fully 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. (See engraving.) Price, 10 c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.29 
14 lb., $8.00 lb.

Ailsa Craig Onion 
This is one of the largest of the 
British sorts, and is used very exten- 
' sively in private gardens both for ordi¬ 
nary use and for exhibition purposes. 
European Onions do not, as a rule, grow 
well in America until thoroughly acclimated. 
This variety has proved to be an exception, 
and has done well since its first appearance 
here. Grown from seed raised under 
our supervision, it has become one 
of the largest and most useful 
Onions. Gardeners frequently 
bring us very large speci¬ 
mens, grown for exhibition, 
five inches in diameter and 
weighing two pounds 
apiece. 
The skin is dark straw 
color, the flesh pure 
white, very mild in 
flavor, and always 
quite tender. 
We do not advise its 
use for keeping. Our 
Globe varieties and 
Prizetaker are 
better. Price, 
^25c. pkt., 
$1.00 oz. 
44 We grow over five 
acres of onions. Got 
some of the Ailsa 
Craig Onion seed from 
you last year, and had the 
most wonderful onions seen 
hi this part of the world. They 
won the first prize at the Min¬ 
nesota State Fair.”
