also in flower borders. One ounce of

Choice Onion Sets 
For the small garden we recommend the use of Onion Sets as 
the risk of failure is almost eliminated and the crop is ready much 
earlier than when grown from seed. 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.
