“ * Prizetaker 1 Onion is the greatest and best Onion that ever was raised. I raised one last 
year that was over 14 inches around it.” J. M. GREGORY , Sunderland , Vt. 
“The 'Prizetaker' Onion seed produced a wonderful crop. The season here was very dry and 
yet some of the Onions measured Ilk inches in circumference. The warm fall caused all other varieties 
to sprout and grow more or less , but the * Prizetaker ’ has not yet shown a green sprout. Mild in flavor , 
of large size, and a good keeper , it surely is a perfect vegetable.” II I RAM COLLEGE, Hiram, Ohio. 
“/ raised your * Prizetaker ’ Onion last year and never saw anything like it. Some of them 
weighed as much as 2\ lbs., and then they are so mild that a baby can eat them.” Mrs. E. A . BELL , 
Belles Store, La. 
* 'We raised your ' Prizetaker ’ Onion last season and everyone who sees or eats them is delighted. 
They are rightly named, for they took the first premium at our Lewis Gounty Fair among a large number 
of competitors” Mrs. M. M. LYMAN, Lowville, N. Y. 
T HE Prizetaker Onion has now been several 
years on the market and is recognized as 
one or 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 who raises it. Nothing short of actual 
knowledge of this variety will convey a really 
adequate idea of its great value, whether con¬ 
sidered 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.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 40c. J lb., $1.25

PRIZETAKER 
White Portugal 
OR SILVER SKIN ONION 
The leading White Flat Onion. For the family garden 
it is one of the best. The bulbs attain a good size, ripen¬ 
ing evenly; the color is a beautiful silvery-white when 
cured under cover. Its shape is flat but symmetrical. 
For a white variety it is not only early, but a good 
keeper. For slicing and boiling it is one of the best, 
the flesh being mild and tender. It is largely grown 
for pickles when sown three or four times as thick as 
usual and is also extensively sown for sets. (See cut.)

bors did from Ik lbs. of Philadelphia Onion Seed.” 
' S. SMITH , Oswego , N. Y. 
‘ 'My Onions from your Onion Seed are a perfect crop, both for size 
and quality, free from mixture. They are ripe now. There ?nay be 
other seedsmen just as good , but I would hate to risk a change.”
