Culture. — Sow in rich soil, in drills 1 foot 

 apart, as soon as the ground can be worked in 

 the Spring: thin out to 2 inches apart in the row, 

 carefully keeping down the weeds. The finest 

 Onions are produced by sowing the seed in a hot- 

 bed in February- or March, and transplanting 

 the seedlings to the open ground 3 to 4 inche.-; 

 apart, in April. For sets, sow the seeds as early 

 as possible in the Spring, -very thickly, in drills : 

 as soon as the tops die off in Summer remove 

 them to a dr\-, air\- place; and early in the fol- 

 lowing Spring replant by placing the sets in 

 shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and 2 inche^^ 

 apart in the drills.
