Onions. 



To grow large Onions from Seed. — The seed 

 should be sown as early as possible in the Spring, 

 as they will not do well in hot weather. 



For Sets. — Have a clean and very rich soil, 

 which should be thoroughly cultivated, or it will 

 not do well enough to pay for the trouble. The 

 most successful growers work their ground several 

 times in the Fall to kill out the weeds, and get 

 ground in nice condition. Use well-rotted manure 

 freely, and be sure to get the seeds in as early as 

 possible in the Spring, no matter if it is ever so 

 cold or unpleasant, and keep the soil mellow and 

 clear of weeds, and if seed is good you will have a 

 large crop of Onions. On no other condition can 

 you hope for success. Disturb the roots of the 

 Onion as little as possible, either in thinning or 

 hoeing, and never hoe earth towards them to cover 

 or hill, as we do most other things.

Parsley. 



Select rich soil ; sow the seed in drills one 

 foot apart, covering half an inch deep. It would 

 be well to firm the soil with the foot after sowing 

 the seed. As the seed is usually from fifteen to 

 twenty-five days in vegetating, it will be necessary 

 to sow early. Thin plants to four inches apart 

 when two inches high. The beauty of the plant 

 may be increased by several successive transplant- 

 ings. It is used principally for flavoring soups, 

 etc., and for garnishing in its natural state.
