Everyone should plant onion sets 
for early green onions. Many prefer 
to grow their large onions from sets 
instead of from seed, as they can 
market them much earlier while the 
price is high. Our sets are small-sized 
as they are the favorite and will go farther 
than the large ones.

No red or white sets this year. Order yellow ones— 
they are the best anyway. Write for prices on larger 
quantities. 
How to Plant Onion Sets 
Onion sets should be planted real early in the spring. 
Plant them deeply if you want best green onions. The 
onion bulbs naturally grow on the top of the soil so don’t 
throw too much soil against them when cultivating. One 
quart will set 50 feet of row. Harvest when half the tops 
have fallen.
