Early Top or Tree and Potato Onions. 



Just received at the New England Seed Store, No. 52 

 North Market Street— 



A quantity of Early Top or Tree seed Onions. Those 

 produce onions at tbe bottom and a bunch of small ones 

 on the top of the seed stalk. The small onions are proper 

 to plant very early in the spring, or in autumn, which is 

 the best time, and seldom fail to produce a good crop under 

 proper cultivation. They should be planted in rows ten 

 or twelve feet asunder, and set two or three inches apart, 

 and one inch deep, taking care to place the bottom down- 

 wards. They soon spring up, and from their size and 

 vigorous growth, are not subject to be destroyed by insects. 

 Should they put forth seed stalks, as many of the larger 

 ones will, they should be broken oft'soon after they appear, 

 otherwise the onions at the bottom will nrt be so large. 

 These onions are mild, grow to a large size,- and are, gen- 

 erally raised with less trouble than the conunon kind. 



Also, a few Early Potato Onions. This curious 

 variety of the onion is very early and mild. They should 

 be planted in common dry situations, in the autumn, cov- 

 ered over two inches deep in gardens. The small ones 

 should be planted out four inches apart — the large ones 

 twelve to fourteen inches. They are generally ripe 

 about the 10th of July, and yield eight to ten fold.
