HENDERSON'S
VVORLD=
FAMOUS
"PRIZETAKER" ONION
Has now been several years on the market and is recognized as one of our best
standard varieties. Rarely has any vegetable attained prominence more rapid-
ly ; it succeeds everywhere— east, west, north and south— and whether grown
for home use or for marketinf? it gives universal satisfaction, yielding onions
often 14 inches around and at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per acre— often
much more under exceptionally good culture. Its immense size and mildness
of flavor delight everyone who raises it. Nothing short of actual knowledge of
this variety will convey a really adequate idea of its great value, whether con-
sidered as a variety for commercial or private culture. Its immense size will
recommend it to all, particularly when it is known that its keeping qualities
are unexcelled. The exterior color is pale yellow, and the interior clear spark-
ling white. It is easily grown, medium early in maturing, mild in flavor. By
sowing early in a sheltered spot and transplantins: the young plants, it can be
grown to an immense size. (See cut.) PRICE, 10c. per pkt., 25c. per oz.,
60c. per l£ lb., $1:90 per lb., 5 lbs. and upwards, $1.80 per lb.

FROM OUR ENTHUSIASTIC CUSTOMERS ABOUT
OUR "PRIZETAKER" ONIONS.
"Trizetaker' Onion is the greatest anrl best Onion that ever
WHS raised. J raised one last ,vear that was over 14 inches
around it." J. M. Gregory, .Sunderland. Vt.
" Last spring I purchased Vt lf.. • Prizetaker' Onion seed from
you, and planted one-sixth of an acre andYaised ISS bushels."
L. E. Bkunson, Plymouth, Mich.
" The ' Prizetaker' Onion seed produced a wonderful crop. The
season here was very dry and yet some of the Onions measured
IIV2 inches in circumference. The warm fall caused all other va-
rieties to sprout and grow more or le.fs, but the • Prizetaker ' liaa
not yet shown a green sprout. Mild in flavor, of large size and a
good keeper, it surely is a perfect vegetable."
Hiram College, Hiram, Ohio.
" I raised your 'Prizetaker' Onion last year and never saw
nnytliiiig like it. I sold them at S cents each. Some of them
weighed as much as L"/* lbs., and then they are so mild that a
baby can eat them. I always speak a good word for your
bouse." Mrs. E. A. Bell. Belles Store, La.
" We raised your' Prizetaker' Onion last season and every one
who sees or eats them is delighted. They are rightly named for
they took the first premium at our Lewis County Fair among a
large number of competitors."
Mrs. M. M. Lyman. LowvlIIe, X. Y.
" The yield of your 'Prizetaker' Onion is immen.se, at least
double that of the yellow Danvers, side liy side."
C. L. JoNES, Windham, Ct.

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
