94 ONIONS FOR PROFIT. 



Then there is the winter or Egyptian Tree onion. Per- 

 sonally I do not consider it worth much. It does not pro- 

 duce bulbs in the ground, but only thick stalks like the leek 

 or a scallion onion, and propagates itself both by division, 

 and by top sets. The plant is of ironclad hardiness, and 

 grows luxuriantly whenever the ground is not frozen. 

 Here we can pull and bunch them in April and May, 

 when other green onions are conspicuous by their absence, 

 and for this reason they often sell well, and at a good price, 

 notwithstanding the fact that they do not possess the true 

 onion flavor.
