Onion Sets 
BOTTOM SETS—Small onions grown from seed 
planted too thickly to reach mature size, They 
produce green onions in a short time, or if left to 
grow, they will produce nice, large dry onions 
earlier than those grown from seed. It is best to 
use the smallest sets to provide dry onions and 
larger ones for green onions. Onion sets may be 
planted in September and up to October 15th. 
These will produce green onions available most 
of the winter. They can be planted at intervals 
from early Spring until Fall, thus providing fresh 
green onions all season. Postpaid. 142 Ib. 25c; 
Ib. 40c; 3 Ibs. $1.00. Add 10% for 5th zone and

Rhubarb 
Rhubarb can be planted in October and Novem- 
ber, depending upon your locality. Fall planting 
enables you to have quicker results than spring 
planting. We offer good, strong divisions with 
good eyes to start the crowns. For quantities 
write for prices. Ready for shipment about No- 
vember 1. Prices quoted are for good divisions. 
Do not pull any stems the first year after planting. 
Space 21% feet apart in the rows and 6 feet be- 
tween rows. If planting is deferred until Spring 
set them out before May 1. If you are unable to 
set them out when received plant in moist sand 
until ready. If the root divisions are planted in 
soil that is too dry they may fail to grow. On all 
rhubarb prices add 10% for Zone 4 and beyond.
