ONION SETS SPROUT TOO SOON. 



Our onion sets seem to draw moisture 

 and then start to grow before planting 

 time. How can we prevent this.' 



K. G. — Kan. 



Keep the onion sets in a i;olcl, dry 

 cellar. If they can be spread thinly 

 over a fine-mesh wire and turned over 

 occasionally, they will be less inclinefl 

 to sprout, C. W. 



STORAGE OF HORSE-RADISH. 



I have a large quantity of young 

 horse-radish roots to dispose of this 

 fall or next spring, and would like to 

 know how to handle them. Shall I 

 dig them this fall and pack them away 

 for the winter? If so, how should thev 

 be packed? Should they be disposed of 

 this fall or left in the ground until 

 spring? We prefer to dig them in the 

 fall, as we are too busy in the spring, 

 which is more or less late here. 



A. J. L. — Minn. 



Dig the horse-radish roots this fall 

 and pack them in damp sand in a frost- 

 proof cellar over winter. This will keep 

 them plump. Spring is too busy a sea- 

 son to do what can be as well done now.
