Onion Sets, Tops, etc. 



Onion Sets and Tops should be planted near the surface, 

 in drills about twelve inches apart and four inches in the 

 rows. They must have high culture for best results. These 

 last are valuable for early use, and where Onions from seed 

 cannot be raised the first year, they are essential. 



These are the prices ruling in January; later on they may 

 b< higher, owing to shrinkage and rutting.
