ONION SETS 
To raise Onion Sets from seed, use good ground, pre¬ 
pared as for large Onions, and sow the seed very thick 
in broad drills, using 40 to 60 pounds per acre. If the 
seed is sown thin, the bulbs will not only be too large 
for sets, but will not be of the right shape, and if sown 
thick on poor land they will be necky and bottle-shaped. 
Onion seed sown for Sets may be sown somewhat later 
than if a crop of large bulb is desired.

PARSLEY 
(German, Petersilie; French, Persil; 
Spanish, Perejil) 
Parsley succeeds best on rich, mellow soil. The seed is 
very slow in germinating, and should be sown as early 
as possible in the Spring, in drills 1 to 2 feet apart, 
oovering not more than % inch with fine soil, firmly 
pressed down. When plants are well up thin to 4 inches 
apart in the row. When the plants of the curled varieties 
are about 3 inches high cut off all the leaves. The plant 
will then start a new growth of leaves, which will be 
brighter and better curled. Every cutting will result in 
improvement.
