ONIONS 



A fine, prepared, mellow soil, well fertilized, 

 is needed to grow good large Onions from seed. 

 As early in the spring as the ground can be 

 .worked, sow the seed in drills 1 5 inches apart 

 and cover yi'mch deep. When the seedlings are 

 3 to 4 inches high, thin or transplant them to 

 stand about 3 inches apart. Hoe frequently to 

 keep the soil loose but do not draw it around the 

 bulbs. For extra-large Onions, start the seed in 

 the hotbed in late February or March and trans- 

 plant to the garden in April.

PARSLEY 



Sow in early spring in rows i foot apart and 

 cover firmly Xinch deep; thin out to 6 inches. 

 The seed is slow and irregular in sprouting and 

 may be hastened by soaking it in warm water 

 several hours before sowing. We suggest plant- 

 ing a few quick-growing seeds (such as radishes) 

 with Parsley to mark the row. Plants may be 

 potted and taken indoors for winter use.
