"T'HE Prizetaker Onion has now been several 
* years on the market and 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 market¬ 
ing 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 considered as a variety for com¬ 
mercial 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

In Praise of Prizetaker Onions: 
"/ want all who are interested in Onions to understand that your Prizetaker stands without 
a peer. I have been growing them for four years—on the same ground•—and getting 1,200 bushels 
to the acre; practically all the Onions were perfect specimens (no scallions ) and their size immense. 
I express you four of them to-day; they measure 16 to 18 inches in circumference and weigh 1\ to 1\ 
lbs. each. I raised many larger and heavier specimens, but I want you to see the average of my crop. 
My Prizetaker Onions took the first premium at the Inter-Mountain Fair at Boise this year , and 
last year formed a part of the Idaho Exhibit at St. Louis, attracting widespread attention. 
“7 have given up growing any other Onion but your matchless Prizetaker.” 
JAMES TORRANCE , Oreana, Idaho. 
“We raised your Prizetaker Onion last season and every one who sees or eats them is delighted. 
They are rightly named, for they took the first premium at our Lewis County Fair among a large 
number of competitors.” Mrs. M. M. LYMAN , Lowville, N. Y. 
White Portugal 
OK SILVEK 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 1 £ 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 may be 
other seedsmen just as good, but I would hate to risk a change.” 
ROBERT BIRCII, Plymouth, Mich.
