As in Kristens reply use the smaller sets  . If you use the bigger ones (I do) then the onion may have registered as having grown for a year, so the year you plant it is the second year, as far as the onion is concerned, so it tries to flower. 

Have to say that I still try to pick out the bigger ones, so I don't follow my own advice. probably too conditioned to planting the bigger healthier ones. 

This years it is going to be seed, already have them, overwintering ones have just gone in.

They're quite strong 'un's though make me cry!
