CULTURE. For sets sow the seed early as possible in the spring, very 

 thickly in drills. As soon as the tops die off in summer remove them to 

 a dry, airy place, and early in the following spring replant by placing the 

 sets in shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and about 4 inches apart in the 

 drills. The onions obtained by that process are of a large size early in the 

 season. May also be grown to full size during the first season by sowing 

 thinly in drills 1 foot apart and about ] /4 inch deep in March or early in 

 April, in strong land, well manured, and thinning them out to 3 to 4 

 inches apart in drills. They delight in a strong, rich, deep, loamy soil, 

 and succeed well if grown successive years on the same ground. By sow- 

 ing onion seed in frames in February and March and transplanting in 

 April onions of immense size can be obtained. For this purpose* Prize- 

 Taker succeeds best. 



85. White Silver Skin Onion. ("Best in Gar- 

 den" Variety.) (100 days.) This famous onion retains

 early as June and July. The onion sets and large onions 

 are used for pickling purposes because of their clean,
