ONION and GARLIC SETS sj. 
Orders for Onion and Garlic Sets cannot be accepted after May 1

tions from a select strain of seed, carefully screened and stored at the proper temperature - 
until they are sent to you. One lb. of onion sets will plant 50 ft. of row. 
Onion and garlic sets should be planted as early in the spring as the soil can be worked. 
Short cultural directions are given below; full directions are sent with every order. 
Because of State law, we regret we are unable to ship onion sets to California.

; shaped onions with bright golden yellow skin and

How to Plant ONION and GARLIC SETS 
Onion Sets. Make furrows about 1 in. deep, into which lightly press the sets 
but do not cover them. Space sets 3 in. apart in rows 12 to 24 in. apart, depending 
on method of cultivation to be used. 
Garlic Sets. Each set or bulb is made up of several sections called cloves held 
together by a thin paper covering. Before planting, separate each set and plant the 
cloves 4 to 6 in. apart in rows 1% to 3 ft. apart. Cover with 1 in. of fine soil.
