Onion Sets 
One quart will plant about 50 feet of row 
Plant as soon as the ground can be worked. 
Press the bulb in the ground lightly (do not 
cover), in rows 1 foot apart, 2 inches apart 
in the row. So that all the development goes 
in the Onion, on signs of their going to seed, 
bend the top over, but do not break it off. 
The advantage in planting Onion Sets lies in 
the fact that the young Onion often is ready 
five weeks from the time of planting, while 
those grown from seed cannot be used until 
well into the autumn.

unless otherwise requested.
