ONION SETS 
We have grown Onion Sets for over 50 years and the knowledge 
gained in growing, storing, grading and shipping over this length of time 
assures our customers a superior product. 
JAPANESE OR EBENEZER 
A yellow variety of great merit. A heavy yielder and good keeping Onion. 
Does not run to seed readily. 
YELLOW 
Grown from seed of Strasburg or Yellow Danvers, either of which we can 
furnish. Yellow is the standard color for onions in many of the largest 
markets. 
RED 
Grown from the Red Wethersfield variety and will produce marketable 
onions several weeks earlier than seed. Also very desirable for green 
onions. 
WHITE 
Grown from White Portugal seed. White sets produce the finest early 
green onions and no garden should be without them. 
BROWN 
Grown from Australian Brown seed. Excellent keepers as Sets. Are very 
hard and solid. 
WHITE PEARL 
This is the early waxy silvery white Onion which is used for fall planting 
only. It produces an onion that in mildness of flavor is probably not sur¬ 
passed. For fall planting only. 
BERMUDA 
These sets produce the pale yellow, slightly flattened Onion, with white 
flesh, at times slightly suffused with pink. For fall planting only. 
CRYSTAL WHITE WAX 
Produces large pure white flattened Onion of mild flavor. For fall planting 
only. 
YELLOW SHALLOTS OR MULTIPLIERS 
The clumps are divided and they multiply very abundantly. Are grown 
largely for flavoring. 
YELLOW POTATO 
The old original English Multiplier. 
WINTER TOP, EGYPTIAN OR PERENNIAL 
These are very hardy; they need no protection during the winter and will 
continue for many years to yield an abundant supply of green onions 
without replanting.
