Among large onions, Salzer’s Prizetaker always attracts attention by its fine size and great beauty. It is of 
the same type as the large Spanish onions that have been imported and sold at high prices. Plant Salzer’s Fa¬ 
mous Prizetaker this year and see what splendid size, what perfect symmetry, what delicious mildness, what fine 
even grain, what productiveness, what all-around attractiveness has been developed and bred into this onion at 
Cliffwood Farms. No need for the large Spanish onions only to sell at high prices. They cannot be distin¬ 
guished from Salzer’s Prizetaker, and Salzer’s Prizetaker is even more superior in delicious flavor and fine ap¬ 
pearance. It always sells at sight and at high prices—seldom for less than 5c per pound. In addition. Prize- 
taker comes in at a time when other onions are scarce, so the price is always high. It is a money maker for 
the trucker and has always given the best of satisfaction to the home gardener. 
Is of clear, bright straw color, very productive, beautifully globe shaped, has a very small neck and ripens up 
fine and hard. Flesh is pure white, crisp, extremely sweet and mild in flavor, being unequalled even by the Span¬ 
ish onions. Keeping qualities not of the best, but this is no drawback, as the onions.always find a ready sale. Succeeds 
well in all sections of the country; matures in 130 to 140 days. Price of Salzer’s Prizetaker: 748 — Pkg., 10c; oz., 20c;

was bred in the mountains of Colorado. The onions are of fine 
globe shape, deep yellow color, very firm, and ripen two to three 
weeks earlier than the standard strain, and hence, are most val¬ 
uable where the seasons are short. Good keeper and heavy

We grew some of your Prizetaker Onions last year and many of them weighed 1 pounds each. They were the best 
onions around here.—Mr. E. J. Morgan, R. D. 2, Hillsdale, Michigan.
