Onion Sets F1 Centurion (200g)
An onion that does well in varying summers
This impressive strong growing hybrid variety produces a heavy crop which is early to mature, especially during our indifferent British summers. The uniformly globe shaped bulbs keep very well and, because of this and their even skin colour make for excellent show bench subjects. Award of Garden Merit.

Culture: Unpack sets on arrival, and spread in a light cool position until planting time. Plant February-March, leaving tips of bulbs above the soil surface, allowing about 10cm (4") between sets and about 30cm (12") between rows. Size of sets 14-21mm. (200g of sets [approximately 50 sets] will plant a row of approximately 5m [16']. 400g of sets will plant a row of approximately 10m [32'].)
Hints: Onion sets are a quicker and much easier way of producing onions than growing from seed. When leaves turn yellow in late summer, partially ease the bulbs out of the soil with a fork - this speeds the ripening process before harvesting later in September. HEALTH BENEFITS: One of civilisations oldest medicines. Anti-asthmatic, anti-bacterial, antiseptic. Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
