transplanting to the open ground, and 
to the production of scullions or shoots. 
The latter is an important and profitable 
industry. Half-grown onions are set in 
frames in the fall and allowed to make 
roots and even sprouts. In the early 
spring these shoots make a quick growth, 
when they are pulled apart, cleaned, 
bunched and sent to the market as 
scullions. They bring $1.50 to $2 per 
100 bunches. Yellow Globe Danvers and other sorts are used. 
PARSLEY. This crop ranks with water cress in its import- 
ance in the oe restaurants in winter. So important is it 
WLS VE that when the home supply fails it 
in. is imported from the Bermudas for 
the Philadelphia market. It grows 
easily, in cold frames or hot beds. 
It requires but little heat. - It is 
worth $3 to $4 per hundred bunches, 
wholesale. The curled varieties are preferred. Its culture is 
simple, as it merely demands a little shelter; good soil and 
fresh air. 
CABBAGE PLANTS. The wintering of Jersey Wakefield 
and other first early cabbage plants is advisable in some 
parts of the country, for early spring plants. The seed is 
sowed in September or October, and the plants set deeply in 
the soil of the cold frame. If freely aired they will be strong 
in spring, and ready for quick growth. There is a disposi- 
tion, as elsewhere noted, to depend more and more on early- 
sown spring plants.
