Parsley 65 



sizes will usually produce seed that will increase 

 the number of thick necks. 



Onions which are to be grown for seed should be 

 stored in a cool, dry place until planting time, 

 when they should be set in rows about a foot apart. 

 The sets should not be closer than four inches in 

 the row, thus giving the roots every chance to 

 grow and to produce fine specimens. 



When the seed pods in a cluster of onions begin 

 to burst and shell out, it is time to cut the seed. 

 From six inches to a foot of the stalk should be cut 

 with the seed, and the seed should be dried in a shady 

 spot. To get rid of all the husk and skin, sift the 

 seed through a fine sieve. 



To segregate the good seed of onions from the poor, 

 put the seed into a pail of water. The good seed 

 will sink to the bottom of the pail. The seed 

 should be thoroughly dried at once and stored 

 away.
