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. 
It requires 12 to 15 
bushels of Onion Sets to 
plant an acre.

PARSLEY 
I Ea SU 

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 %4 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.
