Picked these up in the 50p seed sales earlier this year and just sowed a load today.  

They are flat yellow onions which you sow thickly in a drill and don't even need thining unless you want big bulbs.  The packet blurb says they mature fast and can be eaten green or ripened and stored.  Think as I am right on the end of the sowing period, mine will be an eat green crop, but I shall thin and eat them and see what I get left with

Just sound a bit too good to be true but I won't argue if they are half as good as promised

They're what Italians use as pickling onions, or roasted whole or in sweet and sour sauce (Cipolline in Agrodolce)
They're a very nice small flat top onion usually spring sown - don't know what you'll get sown now, though   I wonder what they're like as spring onions, mmmmm

Ooh ta Mum 

All onions are good in my book so if they get eaten as spring onions that's fine by me    The blurb says you can sow until July and harvest until October, so I'll cover them if need be and keep them going as long as possible 

For 50p (should have been £1.99) I reckon they are worth a go

Indeed!
In the end of  August sales last year I bought Long White Tokyo bunching onions and sowed them in a couple of big tubs in the garden.
They stood all through the winter, I used some here and there in stir fry and salads and picked the last as small bulbed onions a few days ago 

You never know if you don't try

They are a lovely onion, key for onion soup. But in my experience they never grow too large, mostly on the smaller side, so I wouldn't worry about them bulking up too much by fall. They'd grow to what we might consider a small size.

Thanks Trillium    Glad I picked them up now

One for the cyclists amongst you.  Make sure they are not Mario Cipllini onion as they bolt really fast.

I'll get my coat.
