Colorado Grown “Hand Polished” Onion Sets 
/pngs. Regular Sets 
That’s no joke. These sets are actually 
hand-polished, as they are rubbed by hand to 
remove all dirt, roots, tops and any other 
trash. 
For a succession of fresh Green Table 
Onions, plant sets at different times, from 
early March until July. 
Darge Dry Onions for fall and winter use 
are easily raised from sets. Costs more to 
plant than seed, but returns are quicker, and 
most of the tedious hand labor of thinning 
and weeding is obviated. Use the smaller size 
sets for growing large bulbs. Plant hazel or 
tiny size, not the larger unless you have to, 
as the smaller sets are cheaper even at higher 
price per quart and make better matured dry 
onions.

“Tiny” Onion Sets, Prepaid 
The smallest of all Onion Sets, about twice 
as large as garden peas. You don't need to 
set them, just sow in a row like peas and 
cover about one inch. They make early green 
onions a little later than regular sets and 
much earlier than seed. They are especially 
valuable for growing large dry onions for 
winter use. Being so small you get all the 
way from 600 to nearly 1,000 Tiny sets to the 
quart. Crop matures earlier than onions from 
seed. 
YELLOW TINY SETS: Pint 35c; qt. 60c; 2 
qts. $1.00; 4 qts. $1.80, prepaid, any zone. 
WHITE TINY SETS: Pint 40c; qt. 70c; 2 qts. 
$1.20;-4 qts. $2.20, prepaid, any zone. 
/oivgs. Hazel Size Sets 
Hazels are just like other bottom sets 
except that they run smaller in size. The 
smaller size not only gives you about twice 
as many sets to the quart as you get when 
buying ordinary size sets, but also gives you 
a better set, for this reason: A good many 
sets of the size usually sold will send up a 
seed stalk, which causes a hard, woody center. 
But with Hazel Size Sets you rarely if ever 
have any trouble with seed stalks. They make 
the finest green onions and the best of ma¬ 
tured bulbs, and the crop is ready for market 
before onions from seed come in.

Strong Talk About Mild 
Onions 
One thing I never do is to promise anyone 
that a certain onion is very mild. Some kinds 
naturally milder than others, but any likely 
to be hot. Depends a lot on how grown. If 
growth is rapid, with plenty of water, the 
onions will be milder than if plants stunted, 
growth slower, and water insufficient. Some 
customers report that they find Mountain 
Sweet Spanish milder than other kinds. But 
wav a mild onion anyhow? If want something 
real mild, eat an egg plant, or mushroom. 
In growing onions for market, use discre¬ 
tion. Don’t grow too many of the Crystal 
White Wax produced from onion plants. They 
are fine, but the onions must be marketed' soon 
after matured. Cannot be kept for rise in 
price like the standard sorts grown from seed, 
such as Southport Globes, Silverskin, Danvers, 
Mt. Danvers, and Mt. Sweet Spanish.
