Onion 
A good crop is impossi¬ 
ble unless the soil is very 
rich and kept clean. Use 
well-rotted manure freely, 
and get the crop in as 
soon as possible in the 
spring, no matter if the 
weather is cold and un¬ 
pleasant. Sow in drills 
one foot apart and cover 
about one-third of an 
inch, treading or rolling 
after sowing, so that the 
hot, dry atmosphere may 
not dry up and destroy 
the sprouting seed. As 
soon as the plants can be 
seen in the rows give a 
shallow working, followed 
in a few days by another 
working as close to the 
plants as possible, and af¬ 
ter this a thorough hand weeding. Cultivate, if 
possible, once a week, and remove by hand any 
weeds that appear. As soon as the tops die 
and fall the bulbs may be pulled and placed in 
small windrows, turning often. Cut off the tops 
half an inch from the bulbs and store in crates 
under cover in a uniform temperature a little 
above freezing. 
One ounce to 100 feet of drill; 5 pounds to 
the acre.

Parsley 
Parsley seed germinates very slowly, taking 
two to four weeks to come up; hence, if wanted 
early, no time should be lost by delaying the 
sowing. Make the rows twelve to fourteen inches 
apart. Thin to three or four inches apart, or 
transplant at this distance. Can be sown in 
hotbeds in February, or later in open ground. 
Late in autumn place glass frames over some 
of the plants to lengthen out the season of cut¬ 
ting. For garnishing purposes nothing equals 
parsley; it is also used in salads, soups, etc. 
Any good soil is suitable for growing this plant. 
One ounce to 150 feet of drill.
