ONION SETS 



One quart to fifty feet of row; eight to ten bushels per acre, according to size of sets. 



All onions attain full size and maturity the 

 same season from spring-sown seed, yet many 

 people desire to plant out sets for earliest 

 Onions for the table or to use green or for 

 bunching. 



Our Silver Skin Sets are choice Pennsylvania- 

 grown, and are superior to Western-grown sets 

 this season, which are badly damaged. Prices 

 in quantity upon request. 



The price per bushel is subject to change 

 with the market. Write for quotations.
