They can be used in a green state in June, and are ripened off by 
July. To grow sets, sow the seed early in spring very thickly in 
beds or drills. When the tops are down, gather the little bulbs, dry 
and store. Potato onions are grown only from bulbs, and should be 
planted in April. Select large bulbs, and set them ten mches apart, 
their crowns just below the surface. One quart of sets is needed 
for TOO feet of drill.

parsley. 
Culture.— A rich and tolerably deep soil is best for this croc 
Soak the seeds a tew hours in tepid water, and sow early in the 
spring, in drills a foot apart. Thin out the plants to three or four 
inches apart ; a single row forms a very good edging for beds or 
walks. The seed germinates very slowly, and sometimes two or 
three weeks will elapse before the plants make their appearance. It 
often fails entirely in dry weather. To have Parsley green during 
wmter. remove some plants into a light cellar, and treat them as in 
open culture in autumn.
