HARDY BUNCHING ONION 
The plants do not form any bulbs but produce long, straight stalks that are used 
as scallions or green bunching onions. They are perennial and produce for many 
years as long as a portion of the plant is allowed to remain. Seeds sown in the spring 
or summer will provide mild, green scallions late in the fall or, if wintered over, very 
early the following spring. Plants increase in size as they grow older, and thinning 
to eight to twelve inches between plants is advised after the first year. In the 
northern part of the country protection during the winter with a mulch of straw or 
leaves will make the crop earlier. We cannot supply seed of White Welsh this year, 
the crop being a total failure. Japanese Bunching is longer with thicker shoots.
