if you let fome of them ftand till June, they will bulb 

 and grow to a tolerable fize, but will foon after run to feed. 



Sow alfo fome Wellh onions ; this is done in cafe the 

 Others fhould be deflroyed by the froft; for the Welfli 

 onions will furvive almoft the feverell winter ; notwiih- 

 (landing their blades will fometimes die down to the 

 ground in November or December, the roots remain found, 

 and new leaves will fprout up again in about fix weeks 

 or two months after the others are decayed. 



Let this fort be alfo fown in beds as dire£led above, 

 for it is the beft method ; then a perfon can ftand in the 

 alleys and readily weed and clean the plants without 

 treading upon them. 



Thefe Welfh onions never apple or bulb at the roots ; 

 l)Ut as they are fo very hardy as to refill the hardeft froft, 

 when the .common onions would be all kilkd, it is there- 

 fore advifeable to fow a few of them every year at thi^ 

 time ; as they will be found to be very ufeful in the 

 months of March, April, -and May; and even continue 

 till the fpring-fown onions come in.,

 for fpring ufe, fow fome in the iirll week, but let a far- 

 ther fupply for the main fpring crop, be fowed in the 

 third week in this month. The plants raifed from this 

 fowing will fupply the table at an acceptable time the 

 fucceeding fpring.

 thick, and take care 10 rake it in regularly.

 fome plants for autumn fervice. Sow it in an open fpot ; 

 and in dry weather let the bed be fometimes watered. If 

 you fow this feed in the beginning of the month, the 

 plants will be ready about the beginning or middle of 

 September ; and that fown about the middle, or towards 

 the latter end, will be fit to draw towards Michaelmas, 

 and will continue tolerably good all Odober.
