inches apart in the rows. Set the roots deep 
and draw the earth to them when cultivating, 
so that they may be well blanched by the 
time they are fit for use. 85 days. Soil B.

American-grown Seeds 
Sow 1 cence of seed to 100 feet of drill; 
6 pounds to an acre 
Cu.ture. For sets, sow the seed as early 
as possible in the spring, very thickly in drills. 
As soon as the tops dry off in the summer, 
remove them to a dry, airy place, and early 
in the following spring replant by placing 
the sets in shallow drills 1 foot_apart and 
about 4 inches apart in the drills. The Onions 
obtained by this process are of large size 
early i in the season; also can be grown to full 
size during the first season by sowing thinly 
in drills 1 foot apart and about 14 inch deep 
in March or im early April, in strong land, 
well manured, and thmning them out to 
stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the drills. About 
100 days. Soil A.

and delicate flavor.
