Culture. — For sets, sow the seed as earlyas pos-
sible in the spring, very thickly, in drills. As soon
as the tops die off in summer, remove them to a
dry, airy place, and early in the following -
replant by placing the sets in shallow dri
inches apart, and about 4 inches apart in the
the onions obtained by this process are of a
size eany in the season. They may also be grow n
to full si", t during the first season by sowing
in drill 1 foot apart, and about ..j inch deep, in
March' r early in April, in strong land, well ma-
nured, and thinning? hem out to stand 3 or 4 inches
apart in the drills. Theydelighl in a 6trong, rich,
deep, loamy soil, and succeed well if grown suc-
cessive years on the same ground. By sowing
onion seed in frames in February or March and
transplanting in April, onions of immense size
can b ■ •■.' itained. For this purpose Red and White
Bermuda and Prize-Taker succeed best.
