ONION SETS. 



CiriiTUBB. — Onion Sets, when planted 

 in January and February here in the 

 South, will most always produce fine large 

 bulbs. They should be set in rows five to 

 six inches apart and about eight to ten 

 inches in the row. B3' planting sets you 

 gain about three weeks in earliness of 

 crop, hence it is advisable to plant Onion 

 Sets. Gardeners also plant sets for bunch 

 onions to pull early in the Spring and for 

 the earliest ripening bulbs. Matures in 80 

 to 110 days. One quart to 20 feet of drill; 

 S bushels to the acre.

PEAS. 



CUIiTU'BE. — Peas are a fine vegetable, and therefore are very generally cultivated. 

 It is best to plant in ground manured the previous season, else they will make more 

 vines than peas. As a general thing the dwarf kinds require richer ground than the 

 tall growing varieties. Marrowfat Peas, planted in rich ground, will not bear well, but 

 they produce well in sandy light soil. The Extra Early, Saxonia and Alaska will not 

 produce a large crop without being in rich ground. Peas have to be planted in drills 

 two inches deep and from two to three feet apart, according to the height they may grow. 

 Premium Gem can be planted one foot apart, whereas the Carter's Telephone or Cham- 

 pion of England require three feet. The Extra Early and Early Washington can be planted 

 during August and September for Fall. During November and December we plant the 

 Marrowfat; January and February, or as late as March, all kinds can be planted; but 

 for the latter month only the earliest varieties should be used, as the late varieties 

 will get mildewed before they bring a crop. Peas will bear much better if some brush 

 or rods are stuck in the drills to support them, except the very dwarf kinds. Sow one 

 pound to 50-foot drill, 1% to 2 bushels per acre.
