Large Red Wethersfield. 



The Silver Skin and Yellow Strasburg are principally grown in this 

 vicinity. Sow the seed early in the Spring, very thickly, in beds or 

 drills. As soon as the tops die oif in the summer, remove them to a 

 dry airy place ; and early the following Spring replant in rows about 

 two inches apart, the rows wide enough apart to admit of hoeing. The 

 Onions, by this process, are obtained of a large size early in the season. 

 They may be reared to full size during the first season, by sowing in 

 drills early in March, in strong land, and thinning them out to stand 

 two or three inches apart, keeping them well hoed; for this purpose, 

 the Red Wethersneid is usually preferred.
