ONION SETS. Onion sets used instead of 
seeds will produce earlier crops of green onions, 
or large bulbs. Plant the sets right side up and 
cover with garden rake; then firm the soil well 
over the sets. 
ONION. Germinates well in cool weather, 
so plant as soon as the soil can be prepared. For 
pest yield, plant on very fertileland—fall plowed, 
and thoroughly fertilized. When plants are 4 
few inches tall, thin to prevent crowding—using 
the plants removed as green onions. After that 
pull as needed. Those left to become fully ripe 
can be stored for winter. Cultivate and hand- 
weed crop every two weeks during the summer.

Just before killing frosts in fall, dig the plants, 
taking plenty of soil with roots—pack closely 
together and store in dark cellar for winter use. 
HERBS. Plant in good light earth and culti- 
vate well. Sow most kinds about one inch deep 
as soon as weather becomes settled. Thin plants

light, rich soil. When plants are in the third 
leaf, thin to six inches apart. Plant at intervals 
of ten days for succession of bulbs until hot 
weather—after which they do not grow. Use 
while they are still young and tender, and be-

PEAS. To get an early crop, plant in light, 
rich soil. For the general crop, a rich loam or 
clay soil is best. Plant at two-week intervals for 
continuous supplies. Germination can be has- 
tened by soaking seed in water the night before 
planting. Peas need moderate temperature, 
plenty of moisture. Light frosts do not injure
