Maule supplies the highest quality onion sets available. The bulbs are 
large, plump, and in first-class condition. If your sets arrive during cold 
weather, we suggest that you examine them immediately upon arrival 
to see if they have been frozen in transit. Onions and garlic are fairly 
resistant to freezing, and if they are thawed slowly and kept in a cool, 
well-ventilated place until planting time, light freezing in shipment need 
not be injurious. Maule’s White Silver Skin and Maule’s Large Red 
Wethersfield are not available as sets this year. If these are favorite 
varieties, why not try them from seed? You can plant some of.the yellow 
varieties offered as sets to supply early onions, and use that seed planting 
as a main crop for later harvesting. 
69B76 Ebenezer or Japanese 
America’s leading yellow onion sets 
Adapted to all northern states, these vigorous sets mature 
long ahead of plantings from seed. Green onions are available 
in a few weeks, and the crop is useful continuously through 
maturity. The ripe bulbs are brownish-yellow, flattened in 
shape, and excellent keepers. Lb. 40¢; 2 Ibs. 75¢; 5 Ibs. $1.65. 
69B70 Maule’s Yellow Globe Danvers 
The only set producing globe-shaped mature onions 
: ae o.

Yellow Globe Danvers sets. The only variety available in

= 69B64 Garlic Sets 
Extra select California-grown sets; large, pure white (150 days) 
The pear-shaped bulbs have a strong, pungent odor, but if 
used in small quantities are highly esteemed for adding zest 
to soups, stews, sausages, salad dressings, and dill pickles. 
The bulbs (sets) are composed of several sections or cloves, 
which should be separated and set in rows 1 ft. apart and 4 
in. apart in the row. Cover with 1 in. of fine soil. When the 
tops turn yellow, take up the bulbs, dry in the shade, and 
store in a cool, dry place away from frost. They will keep 
perfectly all winter. 1% Ib. 25¢; Ib. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 85¢; 5 Ibs. $1.95. 
448 Green Bunching 
Long, white, crisp stalks (60 days to green onions) 
The nearest thing to a scallion we can offer this year. Green 
Bunching stands for a long time before forming a bulb. The skin 
is always pure white, presenting an attractive appearance. Allow 
these plants to stand very close together instead of thinning, as 
with regular bulbing types. Pkt. 15¢; 14 oz. 45¢; oz. 85¢. 
Cultural Suggestions 
For seed: Sow seed in rows 12\to 18 in. 
apart, as early in the spring as the soil 
can be worked. Sow thinly and cover 
with % in. of soil. When young plants 
are a few inches tall, thin out to stand 
about 3 to 5 in. apart in the row. A 
packet will sow about 25 ft. of row, an 
ounce about 200 ft. Onions are easily 
raised from seed and can be pulled as 
needed during the summer or left to be- 
come fully ripe for late fall or winter use. 
For sets: Onion sets should be planted 
as early in the spring as the ground can 
be worked. Make furrows about 1 in. 
deep and press the onions into the surface 
lightly but do not cover; have the rows 
12 to 18 in. apart and set the onions about 
2 in. apart in the row. Green onions may 
be had in a few weeks. At Philadelphia, 
onions large enough to cook are teady in 
early July, and large ripe onions about 
the middle of July. By planting sets, 
onions can be produced several weeks 
earlier than can be had from seed. A 
pound of onion sets will plant a row about 
50 ft. long.
