ONION and GARLIC SETS 
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. Onion sets cannot be shipped to California.

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.

69B64 Garlic Sets

green onions; it is often used for pickling; and the matured flat 
onions keep well for some time in storage. Decidedly pungent.

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 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. Jong.
