CULTURE. For sets sow the seed early as possible In the 

 spring, very thickly In drills. As soon as the tops die oft 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 % inch deep In March or 

 early In April, In strong land, well manured, and thinning them 

 out to 8 to 4 inches apart In drills. They delight >n a strong, 

 rich, deep, loamy soil, and succeed well If grown successive years 

 on the same ground. By sowing onion seed In frames In Feb- 

 ruary and March and transplanting in April onions of Immense 

 size can be obtained. For this purpose Prize-Taker succeeds best. 



85. White Silver Skin. This famous onion retains its 

 great popularity. Its delicate and mild flavor, its shapely 

 foiTii and size, and its pure white color make it a most de- 

 sirable variety for the table, for the market and for ship- 

 ping. Onion sets are extensively grown from this sort, and 

 from these sets full-size onions are grown as early as June 

 and July. The onion sets and large onions are used for 

 pickling purposes because of their clean, silvery white color.

 good quality, very early, rather flattened in shape, brown in 

 color, and wonderfully hard and solid. It begins to form a

 inches high, and quickly reaches maturity. Its leading and 

 most valuable feature, aside from its appearance and quality,
