Culture. For early green or bunching' Onions sow seed of Silver Skin or other hardy 

 white varieties in early August in well prepared and well drained rich, loamy soil, giving 

 one foot space between the rows, and using 20 pounds of seed per acre. In many localities 

 they winter well without much or other protection. For dry (fall) bulbs, select a clean, 

 rich, well drained and well manured piece of land, prepare a perfect seed bed, andsowseed 

 in early spring in drills 15 inches or so apart, u.sin,g 4 to 5 pounds of seed per acre. Use 

 wheel-hoe and weeders freely and thin plants to stand at lea.st 2 inches apart in the rows. 

 Pull when tops begin to die down, cure and sell, or store in a cool, dry place. For sets, select 

 clean sandy soil of medium fertility, prepare it well in early spring, and at once sow seed 

 in drills a foot apart, using 40 to 60 pounds of seed per acre. Gather the sets when ripe, 

 cure aud store in a dry, airy place. They may be wintered in a slightly frozen condition, 

 but must be protected from repeated freezing and thawing. In early spring following, plant 

 them in shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and about 2 inches apart in the drill. 



By sowing seed of the Spanish type, such as the Prizetakerand Southport Globes, under 

 glass in January, February, or even March, and transplanting in April to open ground 3 to 

 4 inches apart in the rows, bulbs of immense size may be produced. 



214. White Silver Shin Onion. This supei-ior stock is almost exclusively used for 

 growing sets, which is the strongest proof that it is the best from which to grow the large 

 wliite Onions. Its delicate, mild flavor, its stately form and large handsome size, its pure 

 white color, make it a most desirable variety for the table, the most profitable for market 

 and shipping. Plants are of an extremely thin neck and type, and sure to ripen early. 

 Bulbs are perfect in form and quite thick through. They are fine-grained, crisp and mild. 

 Bulbs should be harvested as soon as ripened and dried in the shade to pre.ser\'e their silvery 

 white skin, the attractiveness of which makes them command the highest market prices^
