ONION PLANTS 
ONION SETS 
Onion sets are miniature onion bulbs formed by sowing seed 
thick, at the rate of fifty to seventy-five pounds per acre. These 
are very good for planting for green onions as they develop much 
quicker than from seed. They should not be planted for dry 
onions as a large percentage of them will run to seed before 
forming a bulb.

Onion plants are grown from seed and as soon as the seedlings, 
or plants, are about the size of a lead pencil, or even smaller, 
they are transplanted to their permanent place in the garden, in 
rows twelve to fourteen inches apart, and the plants set three 
to four inches apart in the rows. Onion plants will produce the 
dry onions if left to develop but can also be used for green onions 
if pulled when sufficiently large for this purpose. When the de¬ 
veloped bulbs or dry onions are desired, onion plants are to be 
preferred to onion sets (onion sets are miniature onion bulbs— 
see under onion sets) as the plants will all develop and produce 
the large dry onions whereas onion sets will only produce a small 
percentage of dry onions, most of them going to seed before 
producing a dry onion. In the east dry onions are grown from 
onion sets but in this section this is not practical. Of the early 
varieties of onion we offer plants of the California Early Red 
and the Italian Red; both of these two varieties are sweet, the 
Italian Red being the sweetest of the large onions.
