FAMOUS PRIZETAKER. ONION 
Excels in Yield, Excels in Size, Excels in Keeping Qualities 
Its mildness of flavor and tenderness are unequalled 
The Prizetaker Onion is recognized as one of our best standard varieties. Rarely 
has any vegetable attained prominence more rapidly; it succeeds everywhere—east, 
west, north and south—and whether grown for home use or for marketing it gives 
universal satisfaction, yielding Onions often 14 inches around and at the rate of 
1,200 to 1,500 bushels per acre—often much more under exceptionally good culture. 
Its immense size and mildness of flavor delight every one. Nothing short of actual 
knowledge of this variety will convey a really adequate idea of its great value, 
whether considered as a variety for commercial or private culture. Its immense 
size will recommend it to all, particularly when it is known that its keeping qualities 
are unexcelled. The exterior color is pale yellow, and the interior clear sparkling 
white. It is easily grown, medium early in maturing, mild in flavor. By sowing 
early in a sheltered spot and transplanting the young plants, it can be grown to 
an immense size. (See cut.)
