As stated in our new Leaflet on Onion Culture, it is cheaper to raise onions directly from the seed. Many- persons with small gardens, however, still prefer to use sets. Gardeners also plant sets for bunch onions to pull early in the spring, and for the earliest ripening bulbs in the spring. We fre- quently have calls for sets of the Red Wethersfield and large Italian onions. These we cannot supply, as we use only White Silverskin, Yellow Dan- vers, and Yellow Dutch seed when sowing for sets. The Red Wethersfield Onion, while producing large onions from seed, does not make good sets, while the Italian sorts are too tender to keep in good condition. Prices by the bushel vary with the market. WHITE ONION SETS. Grown from our choice strain of the Philadelphia White Silverskin seed,—described on page 51. 20 cts. per pint; 35 cts. per quart, bv mail. By express: Per qt. 25 cts.; 2 qts. 40 cts.] 4 qts. 75 cts.; peck ; per bush. $ YELLOW ONION SETS. Grown from our choice strain of Philadelphia Yellow Strasburg Onion as de- scribed on page 50.

By express: Perqt, 20 cts.; 2 qts. 35 cts.; 4 qts. 55 cts.; peck ; per bush. POTATO ONION SETS. Valuable for bunching or an early crop. The smallest sets make fine bulbs of good size, while the larger ones produce a cluster of small to medium-size bulbs. Light brown skin ; mild, white flesh. It is the earliest, most vigorous in growth, and easiest to cultivate of all onions from sets. For the family garden everywhere, the true Potato Onion, whether pulled green or as dry bulbs, is most excellent. 25 cts. per pint; 40 cts. per quart, postpaid. By ex- press: Prices same as for "
