"Orchard and Garden" says: "The finest we have ever raised. The acme of beauty and perfection, and undoubtedly will be- come the most popular yellow Onion in cultiva- tion." " Popular Gardening " says: "Among the score or more of fine sorts of onions none can hold a candle to Prize-Taker. Our specimens were the finest onions we ever raised. The smallest bulbs weighed over a half pound each, and the yield was at the rate of over 1,0 00 bushels per acre, o other variety can succes- sively compete with the Prize-Taker."- PRICE—PET. 4c, OZ. 15c, y± IiB. 40c, LB. $1.35.

It is oftentimes a matter of choice of color what onion is grown. To those growers who prefer a red variety we recommend our large Red Wethersfield. This is also one of our greatest specialties, and next to Yellow Globe Danvers we sell the largest quantity of seed of it. It is the most reliable red onion grown for general purposes. It yields enormous crops; from 600 to 800 bus. per acre, and is a most re- liable cropper even under unfavorable conditions.
