~HOW TO GROW ONION 
' SETS FROM SEED 
60 to 70 lbs. per Acre 
Culture—Onion Sets are small un- 
dergrown onions, made so by sow- 
ing the seed very thickly in shallow 
drills early in the Spring. The same 
culture as for large onions is neces- 
sary. The best varieties to use are 
Japanese, Red Wethersfield and 
White Silver Skin. The young plants 
form sets about the size of marbles 
by Midsummer. When the foliage 
becomes brown and dry they are 
ready for harvest. Cure and store 
in shallow racks placed in a dry, 
cool, airy place. Freezing will not 
hurt them if they are not handled 
while in that condition. 
Hardy White Bunching Onion 
HARDY WHITE BUNCHING SEED 
60 Days for bunching—The earliest and best white bunching onion. 
This variety does not form bulbs and is used exclusively for early green 
onions or scallions. Recommended as a money maker for market gar- 
deners. Sow the seed thickly in rows in the late Spring or early Summer 
and earth up gradually to blanch the stalks as far up as possible. 
They will then produce single long white tender shoots which are 
brittle and mild in flavor. Seeds may be sown as late as August or 
September. Very hardy and will withstand Winter.
