EGYPTIAN OR TOP ONION 
SETS (Perennial) 
The young sets of these are produced on top of the stalks. As they cannot 
be kept out of ground over winter they must be planted in the fall ; therefore, 
orders for them should be given in the spring for delivery next autumn. When

need no protection ; grow rapidly, and are very productive, sweet and tender. |
