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.
