This isn't exactly a definitive answer, but all the nurseries/garden centers sell onion starts in six-packs. Each pack is loaded with a dozen or more starts. These starts are then transplanted directly into the garden. In addition, I have one good gardening friend who grows everything from seeds she starts. She grows onion seeds in 6 packs as well. When the starts are approx. 4" tall, she begins separating them for transplanting into her beds.
[I, on the other hand, find myself challenged by very thin, very small starts, so I buy the immature bulbs. This marble-sized start is very suitable for my clumsy fingers.]
Best of luck!
