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 

 jilace, and early in the 

 following' spring re- 

 i:)lant by placing the 

 sets in shallow drills. 

 12 inches apart, and 

 about 4 inches apart in 

 the drills. The onions 

 obtained by that pro- 

 cess 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 

 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 sowing 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. This famous onion retains its 

 great popularity. Its delicate and mild flavor, its shapely 

 form 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.
