THE FAMOUS 
Prizetaker 
Onion 
White Portugal or Silver 
♦♦ ♦ bkin Union ♦♦ ♦♦ 
This is beyond doubt the very best Onion for general use during 
the spring, summer and autumn. We do not esteem it so highly 
for winter use, as it is excelled by other sorts for keeping purposes. 
But it is so excellent in every other respect that we urge every gar¬ 
dener to make a liberal sowing of White Portugal for continuous 
use, leaving the crops intended for keeping purposes intact. There 
is none that yields more delicious “scallions,” or young plants for 
salad purposes, none which is more suited to boiling during the 
growing season, and none so generally esteemed for its mild, delicious 
flavor. Should there be any small bulbs left in the row at the end 
of the season they may be used for pickles. Always, under all 
conditions, it is delicious, appetizing and wholesome. {See cut.)

" We like your White Portugal very much for a summer onion. It grows quickly

This is the great American Onion, 
now everywhere recognized for its 
general excellence. Whether con¬ 
sidered from the standpoint of size, 
flavor, tenderness, keeping quality, 
or any other feature, it is without 
doubt a marvel, and its continuous 
popularity is clearly evidenced by the 
ever-increasing demand for it. In all 
sections of the country, in the large 
as in the small garden, it is equally 
popular, contributing in greater de¬ 
gree than ever to the produce of the 
garden, and the bounty of the table. 
Its adaptability extends not only 
to a large area, but to a great variety 
of conditions, so that in almost any 
climate it may be grown with profit. 
It is uniformly large and globe- 
shaped. Some bulbs are inclined to 
be slightly flattened. The skin is 
pale yellow, the flesh white, succulent 
and sparkling. Under very good 
conditions, such as when grown for 
exhibition purposes, it attains an 
enormous size; we have seen speci¬ 
mens five inches in diameter. Its 
keeping quality is excellent. 
In competition with the best British productions, it gained the 
signal honor of an award of merit from the Royal Horticultural 
Society of England. It is medium-early in season, though it is 
often used before maturity for boiling. 
Prizetaker Onions, grown from our seed, received an Award of 
Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of England. {See cut.)
