Zwiehel, Ger. Ognon, Fk. Ceholla, Sp. 



The Silver Skin, Yellow Strasburg, and Yellow Danvers seed we offer, is of Philadelphia growth. For sets, sow 

 the seed as early as possible in the S!)riiig, very thickly, in drills. As soon as tlie 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 ajiart in the drills ; the Onions, by this ]>rocess, are obtained of a large size early in the 

 season. They may also be grown to full size during the first season by sowing thinly in drills 1 foot apart, and 

 about i inch deej), in March, or early in April, in stronj, land, well manured, and thinning them out to stand 8 or 4 

 inches apart in tlie drills, keeping them well lioed and free from weeds; for this purpose the Ked Wethersfield and 

 Yellow Danvers are usually ))referred. They delight in a strong, rich, deep, loamy soil, and succeed well if grown 

 successive years on the same ground. 



Seed can be sown in August and September, in drills wide enough apart to admit of working, and when they 

 have grown of sufficient size in the syjring to be fit for table use, thin out to 4 inches apart, to allow the remaining cro]) 

 to mature large Onions. This plan works admirably in the South, but will not prove successful where the ground 

 freezes deei)Iy or is sulyect to constant changes of temperature in spring.
