Onion Sets 
To raise Onion Sets 
from seed, use good 
ground, prepared 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. 
WHITE SILVERSKIN 
YELLOW DANVERS 
Owing to the severe 
drouth and other adverse 
climatic conditions which prevailed throughout the West¬ 
ern and growing section, the crop of Onion Sets has been 
very materially reduced and we can therefore quote prices 
only upon application. 
Parsley 
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, covering 
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.

Okra or Gumbo 
Cultivated for its young seed pods, which are used in

of fine soil, firmly pressed down. When about 3 inches 
high thin to about 1 foot apart in the row. One ounce

PLANT A CARDEN 
even though it is a small one, and see how 
much pleasure can be derived from same. 
Aside from the pleasure, the healthful 
relaxation to be gained certainly pays big 
dividends from a viewpoint of health. 
The knowledge to be gained, as you watch 
and study each plant or flower as it grows 
and comes into bloom, is not to be ignored. 
For children or grown folks, it is nature’s 
own university of learning; and at what 
little expense. The energy stored up in 
one small seed cell is greater than you 
will find in the largest automobile fac¬ 
tory. Then again, what is more palatable 
or tasty than fresh vegetables from the 
kitchen garden?
