ONION SETS 
The Importance of Using Northern Grown Onion Sets. 
The planting of Onion 
Sets is increasing rapidly 
year after year. They 
are used for several pur- 
poses. The Bottom Onion 
Sets produce a large 
onion ready for market 
from four to six weeks 
earlier than can be had by 
sowing the seed. This 
enables the grower to sell 
his entire crop earlier in 
the season, at which time 
prices usually are higher 
than when the bulk of the 
crop reaches market. It 
also permits the sowing of 
another crop on the land 
the same year. Bottom 
Sets also produce good 
green onions on most any 
soil in half the time it lakes to raise them from seed. 
Bottom Onions Sets are produced by sowing seed very 
thickly and they are harvested before Ihey have reached 
full development. 
Multiplier Onion Sets are formed through the division 
of the bulbs into many smaller ones, they are not grown 
from seed. 
Top sets are produced like seed on the top of the 
stalks. Top sets make large bulbs one year and top sets 
the next.
