off and remove the bad ones from the others. 

 Onions are one of our healthiest vegetables, 

 either cooked or eaten raw. 



The onion is carried to sea by sailors to keep 

 off the scurvy. 



POTATO ONION 



Do not laugfh. 



This onion is very prolific, increasing by 

 bulbs which it throws out underground. Each 

 bulb has a top and six or more may be joined 

 together at the root, like the potato, hence 

 the name. 



It is planted from seed and sets like the true 

 onion. It is not large but is useful when the 

 other kinds do not keep well.
