Garlic, Onions, bulbs and tubers
Top setting Onion (Allium cepa var. proliferum)
Shipped as sets in spring. Allow $7.95 for shipping and handling. 7 sets for $5.00
350. Egyptian Walking Onion sets – 50 days, continual from second year.
These perennial favorites produce the earliest green cutting stems in the spring and a prolific burst of red tinged sets from the tops of the seed stems by early fall that grow and topple the stem to the ground to set the next clump. Fun and interesting. I have used these sets for pickling onions with some success.
Multiplier Onions (Allium cepa – Aggregatum group)
Shipped as sets in spring. Allow $7.95 for shipping and handling. 7 sets for $5.00
351. Multiplier Onion sets – 65 days A smaller onion with great storage and over wintering capabilities. A patch of multiplier onions will provide you with fresh bulbs in the spring as well as greens when there is nothing else left in the cold storage. They produce about 5 or 6 onions from every set planted in the spring. I use them in mustard pickles and salsa as the flavor is strong and enjoyable.
352. Belgian Shallot sets – 65 days Lightly blushed with red, these sets can also over winter in the garden or be divided in fall and replanted for hassle free gardening come spring. Each set produces 4 to 5 or more new bulbs come fall. Nice medium strong onion flavor, so that even though small, only one is needed to hint a dish with their aroma. Not available.
365. Dutch Onion sets – 65 days. NEW!! Good for growing on a continual basis. Lift in the fall or mulch well to leave in the garden for the winter.
366. Red Sun shallots – 65 days. NEW!! Limited availability. Good variety of shallots forAlberta. Grows well in all soil types. Red skins, tall, thin variety, solid flesh.
367. Fluet onions – 60 days. NEW!! Provided to our family by Mr. A. Fluet, this onion was grown inAlberta for years. Larger than the multipliers that I had, with similar growing characteristics. Great for cooking.
