ONION SETS 
Sets are tiny bulblets grown from seed sown thickly 
last summer. They should be planted 2 inches deep 
and 2 inches apart for pulling onions and 4 inches 
apart for large ones. They will produce green, 
bunch or pulling onions in four to six weeks — much 
quicker than from seed. They may be allowed to 
develop into full-size onions.
