ONION SETS 
Culture. — These are small under¬ 
grown or starved onions, made so by 
sowing from 60 to 75 lbs. of seed per 
acre instead of 4 to 6 pounds; which 
is sufficient in growing market onions. 
Plant on good soil 3 or 4 inches 
apart in shallow drills 12 inches 
apart. Keep free from weeds and 
gather a little earth to them in culti¬ 
vation. Planting averages 8 bushels 
to the acre.

PARSLEY 
Culture. — This seed is very slow to 
germinate, taking anywhere from 2 
to 4 weeks in coming up. Soaking 
the seed a few hours in lukewarm 
water will hasten its start. Sow 
thickly in rows a foot apart as early 
as ground will permit, and about 34 
inch deep. Thin out plants to 4 
inches, or seed can be sown in hot¬ 
bed during February and plants 
transplanted to open ground in 
April. An ounce of seed to 150 feet 
of drill.
