ONION SETS 


A great many prefer to raise onions from sets 
because they are easier to grow. The difficult 
part of onion growing has already been done in 
producing the sturdy, healthy sets. Also the 
crop can be matured several weeks quicker. 
We take pride in the quality of our onion sets. 
They are kept in frost-proof storage warehouses 
until ready to ship. They are then given a 
final cleaning before shipping. This year, plant 
at least a few sets and see how much labor and 
time they save you
