SALZER’S ONION SETS 
Planting' our Hardy Northern Grown Onion Sets reduces the 
amount of labor to a minimum, the crop is surer to grow and 
is ready for use several weeks in advance of that grown from 
seed. In fact, the ideal way is to use both sets and seeds—the 
sets to grow spring and summer onions, and the seed to grow 
onions for late fall and winter use. A pound or two is sufficient 
for a small family. 10 bushels plant an acre.

Set out Salzer’s Onion Plants just as soon as you can get them into the ground— 
the same as with Salzer’s cabbage plants. This means that you’ll get earlier crops 
of fully developed and larger onions—the very first onions for your own table use 
or the very earliest onions that bring the top prices at market. Please state on 
your order about what date we shall send your onion plants. Orders must be for 
100 or multiples of 100 plants. Our plants do not have “pink root.”
