THE FAMOUS
Prizetaker
Onion
Magnificent in Size
Delightfully Mild in Flavor
A Matchless Keeper
Prizetaker is at once the largest and
most handsome of all American Onions,
and is renowned everywhere. It is grown
with great success in all sections of the
country, and is one of the few vegetables
that attain great size, and still retain per-
fect quality.
It grows as easily as any other sort,
and can be used for all purposes' — the
young plants as salad; the half grown
bulbs in early summer; and the perfect,
mature Onion practically at all times, for
it keeps so well that it may be used almost
the year around.
It is esteemed not only in America, but
in Europe. Soon after its introduction,
it was exhibited in London, and in the
keenest competition with the products of
the most skilful growers, earned an
Award of Merit" from the Royal Horti-
cultural Society of England.
Not only does it grow to a large size,
but uniformly so. The shape is true globe,
broad at the base, tapering sharply at "the top.
It is so well bred that the tops dry down entirely when it ripens,
leaving a clean, sound bulb, perfect in form, rich in color, and
wonderfully solid. The outer skin is rather pale yellow, the flesh
pure white throughout. It is extremely mild in flavor, very much
esteemed for slicing, baking and boiling, in fact in whatever way it
is prepared, it is unsurpassed. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz.,
50c. Va lb., $1.75 lb.
Skin Onion
This is beyond doubt the very best Onion for general use during
the spring, summer and autumn. We do not esteem it so highly
for winter use, as it is excelled by other sorts for keeping purposes.
But it is so excellent in every other respect that we urge every gar-
dener to make a liberal sowing of White Portugal for continuous
use, leaving the crops intended for keeping purposes intact. There
are none that yield more delicious "scallions," or young plants for
salad purposes, none which are more suited to boiling during the
growing season, and none so generally esteemed for their mild, delight-
ful flavor. Should there be any small bulbs left in the row at the
end of the season they may be used for pickles. Always, under all
conditions, it is appetizing and wholesome. .See cut.) Price, 10c.
pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. .i lb-, $3.00 lb.
" We like your White Portugal very much for a summer Onion. It grows quickly
and is mild and tender either boiled or sliced. "
Mrs. J. P. VOORHEES, Plainfield, N. J.
