An older book I found at a second hard store about 20 years ago. Dated 1992 and has a type written looking font. Great old reference for allium growing in Illinois, specifically. It’s a good time to start some seeds indoors under light but not quite time to put out your sets.
I have some Walking Onion. Never run out of onion greens and small bulbs! It’s an eternal onion for the garden! Plus the little top onions are a fun little prize.

We need the allium trivia!
Very interesting 🤔 especially chapter 4 🤪
We need more readily available onion varieties, the same way different apple varieties have blown. 20 years ago, there were only red, yellow, and green (Granny Smith) apples at the local grocery store. Now there are [dozens ](https://applerankings.com/)of varieties. We still only have yellow, red, white, and sweet Vidalia/Maui onions (along with green onions, shallots and garlic). Where is the honeycrisp or cosmic crisp of onions? I bet the ones in this book would be amazing.
Well now I want a copy lol
Can you upload it somewhere?
brown onions??? what are those?
I sang this to the tune of strawberry fields forever
