Culture. For sets sow the seed as early

 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 this 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 

 14 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.
