Onions are rais'd from feeds ^o^'Aof timr 

 at feveral times of the year, in order to 

 have them always as yomig as you can 5 ture. 

 the firft is towards the middle or latter 

 end of Januaryy or the beginning of 

 February y on an old hot- bed, when yon 

 fow for young carrots, radiflies, lettuce, 

 C^r. but of thefe a bed three foot wide, 

 and fix or eiglit foot long, is fufficient y 

 the next, and which is indeed the chief 

 fowing of all, is in Marchj when you 

 ought to have at leaft twenty or thirty 

 rood, for a large family, there being no 

 root call'd for fo much as onions are 5 

 they delight in the richeft and moft 

 dungy foil you can fow them in, love to 

 be kept clean from weeds, and in order 

 to have them large, fiiould be well wa- 

 tered, which I am told, in AndalufiUy 

 (a confiderable province of Spain, where 

 they have great quantities) they do by 

 overflowing large trads and iieJds of oni- 

 ons with water, as we do our meadovv^s 

 in England':, and on thefe kinds of lands, 

 in all probability, we might procure ex- 

 traordinary large ones here, as fome ex- 

 perience likewife confirms.
