ONION—Continued six POUNDS. PRIZETAKER, The Genuine. The handsomest, largest yellow globe Onion. A new variety intro- duced but a few years ago, which has proven to be an excellent keeper, of finest flavor, handsome shape and enormous size, many single Onions having been raised to weigh six pounds and over from seed the first year. It is of the same type as those immense imported Onions which can be seen in fruit stores and always command a very high price. The Prizetaker grows always to a perfect globe shape, with a bright straw-colored skin; the necks are very small, and the Onions always ripen up hard. MAMMOTH SILVER KING. This mammoth variety is one of the largest in cultivation, aver- aging* from fifteen to twenty-two inches in circumference, and often weighing from two and a half to four pounds each. It matures early and is of uniformly large size and tine shape, being flattened but thick. The skin is of a beautiful silver white, flesh snowy and tender, of mild, sweet flavor. We know of no variety of this vegetable which has at- tracted so much attention as this. Its striking size and handsome appearance, as well as mild flavor, recom- mend it for exhibition at the fairs, for fancy market as well as the home table. ITALIAN ONIONS. Italian Onions are very pop- ular owing to their quick growth, large size and mild flavor, many sorts making Onions weighing two to four pounds from seed the first year. The smallest, if set out in the second season, will continue to increase in size, instead of run- ning to seed like the American Onions. They succeed well in everv section of the THE GEND IN RIZETAKER. EA
