\ JOHN A. SALZER SEED CO.'S CATALOGUE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS, LA CROSSE, WIS. 80 PRZZEXAKER OZilOZV. First offered in 1888, and it proved to be the greatest acquisition in years. The largest, handsomest, finest-flavored, most superior Yellow Globe Onion ever introduced. This simply magnificent Onion is certainly a wonder. There has never been an Onion in the United States that could equal it, and we believe it will supplant all other Yellow Qiobe Onions now in cultivation, as soon as its sterling; qualities are known, for it is certainly perfection. Of a clean, bright straw color, it always grows to a uniform shape, which is a perfect globe. It has a very small neck and always ripens up hard and fine, without any stiff-necks. In mar- ket it attracts marked attention, and, although only offered to a limited extent, has always been picked out and selected at three times the price of anyjOther sort on sale, ^ ' . ... . . . .. ^ in spring the bulbs being apparently as firm and solid as when , _.3oz. Can anything: beat that? J^arm and Fireside con' t K'm^ of all Onions, The greatest novelty in years', and the Kmg of all Yellow Globe Onions. I pronounce this novelty the king ofall Onions ever grown in America. It is ahead of any domestic Onion I have ever seen, and finer than anything I ever expected to grow. If you want to see what the Onion looks like, go to the nearest fruit store and behold the Spanish Onion on sale at 5 cents or more a pound. There is no reason why the •Prizetaker' should not take the place of the imported bulb, and be sold at a high price. The two varieties cannot be told apart. Here is a chance for the progressive Onion ja:rower that he cannot afford to neglect, for there is money in it. The name Trizetaker,' although not very elegant, is, nevertheless, quite appropriately selected. Any fair, average specimen will take the prize at an exhibition against the finest specimens of other sorts. It is seldom, very seldom, that we come across a novelty that marks such a long step in advance in the culture of vegetables. Besides being a 'Prizetaker,' it will also surely prove to be a'Pricetaker.*" A word to the wise is sufficient* PRICE: Pkg.,10c.; oz., 20c.; ^Ib.,60c.', lb., »2.00; » lbs., S3.75; 4 lbs.. $700; by express or freight, pkg., lOc; oz., 20c i 34 lb.» 66c.; Ib.» »1.90; 2 lbs.. «3.50; 4 lbs.. »6 60.
