 Growing Onions
The size of the onion bulb is dependent upon the number and size of the green leaves or tops at the time of bulb maturity.
Onions are characterized by day length; "long-day" onion varieties will quit forming tops and begin to form bulbs when the daylength reaches 14 to 16 hours while "short-day" onions will start making bulbs much earlier in the year when there are only 10 to 12 hours of daylight.
Place an onion in the bag and tie a knot or put a plastic tie between the onions and continue until the stocking is full.

 Chapter 6: Common Vegetables for Seed and Fruit
Pollination in the onion flower occurs when pollen is transferred from the dehiscing anthers of one floret to a receptive stigma of another floret.
Wind is not a factor of significance in onion pollination (Erickson and Gabelman 1956).
When onion breeders want to get seed from a specific plant, they enclose the flowering umber within a bag or cage and introduce flies to transfer the pollen, or, if cross-pollination is desired, the umbels of the two lines are enclosed (Jones and Emsweller 1933).
