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. 



69B76 Yellow Skinned Sets 



The finest quality sets available on the market. These bulbs 

 produce mature onions 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 

 excellent keepers, excelling the white sets in this respect. It's 

 easy to grow onions from these fine sets.

 which should be separated and set in rows 1 ft. apart and 4

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 yi 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 ready 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.
