578 Prizetaker. The true type is globe-shape, has pale yellow skin and 

 white flesh, which is very mild and of delicate flavor. No sets are re-

Choice Onion Sets 



For the small garden, we recommend the use of Onion Sets and 

 the slight difference in cost, is justified by result*. The risk of 

 failure is almost eliminated and the crop is ready much earlier. 

 Onion Sets should be planted in rows 12 inches apart, with sets 

 2 inches apart in the rows. 1 quart will plant a 50 foot row.
