Maule's Onion Sets of the Best Quality 



Produced from Thoroughbred Seed and True to Name. We Sell All Onion Sets 32 Pounds to the Bushel 



CULTURE— Onion sets should be planted as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. Set the onions in the ground lightly (do not cover) 

 In shallow furrows, 12 to 18 Inches apart and about 2 inches apart in the row. Young onions may be had in 5 weeks. By planting sets, onions can 

 be produced for market or household use 4 to 6 weeks earlier than can be had from seed. Onions from sets are usually harvested in the locality 

 of Philadelphia in July, which allows the sowing of another crop on the same ground the same season. A quart of onion sets will plant a row 

 about 100 feet long, use 8 to 10 bushels to an acre. 



The value of onion sets may vary, so all our prices are 

 subject to change without notice.
