Buist’s Selected Onion Sets 
2 Qts. per 100 Ft.; 10 Bus. per Acre 
W E ARE extensive growers of Onion 
Sets, taking great care to plant the 
very best strain of stock seed. Our reputation 
is established for supplying choice sets; clean, 
small and uniform. 
Culture —Plant in the Spring as soon as the ground can 
be worked, or in the South, set out in either Fall or 
Spring. The richer the soil, the better. Firm the sets 
in drills about ] /2 or an inch deep, IV2 ft- apart and 
3 ins. apart in the row, but do not cover them en¬ 
tirely. If desired plant closer and thin out the green 
onions in a few weeks for use as scallions. Keep the 
ground free of weeds by frequent hoeing. The tops 
begin to die and fall over in July at which time the 
onions are ready for lifting. For Fall and Winter keep¬ 
ing, store the bulbs in a dry, cool, airy place. 
Egyptian Top Sets or Winter Onions are planted only 
in the Fall. They do not form a bulb and are grown 
as a greeni onion of scallion ready to eat early in the 
Spring.
