OLDS ONIONS 
SPANISH TYPE VARIETIES 
Prizetaker 
The mildest, finest flavored and largest onions 
belong to this class. They require a little longer 
growing season than do the American sorts and 
they are not quite as good keepers. For this 
reason we do not recommend planting them in 
northern Wisconsin and similar latitudes. In the 
central part of this state, however, they do very 
well. 
297 Vs. GIGANTIC GIBRALTER. The 
largest, mildest and sweetest of all onions. Creamy 
straw-colored bulbs, excellent for slicing, never 
strong, but brittle, juicy and with a very pleasant 
flavor. Late in season. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; Vi 
lb., 60c; lb., $1.75, postpaid. 
297. PRIZETAKER. Bright straw yellow in 
color and a good globe shape. It grows about three 
times as large as the Danvers, individual onions Sweet Spanish, 
sometimes weighing four pounds and over. Very 
mild, sweet flavor and a fair keeper, ripening even- 2 98. SWEET SPANISH. (Mountain 
3y. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; Vi 60c; lb., $1.75, Strain.) An extremely large, mild and sweet 
postpaid. globular-shaped onion and very handsome. The

the other varieties at much higher prices. The 
earliest Spanish onion. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; Vi
