Cutture. For sets sow the seed as early 
as possible in the spring, very thickly in

remove the sets to a dry, airy place, and early 
in the following spring replant by placing 
them in shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and 
about 4 inches apart in the drills. The 
Onions obtained by this process are of a 
large size early in the season. May also be 
grown to full size during the first season by 
sowing thinly im drills 1 foot apart and about 
14 inch deep in March or early in April, in 
strong land, well manured, and thinning 
them out to 3 to 4 inches apart in drills. 
They thrive in a strong, rich, deep, loamy 
soil. By sowing Onion seed in frames in 
February and March, and transplanting in 
April, Onions of immense size can be obtained.

Freezer space is too valuable to waste on 
any variety which makes low-quality or 
bulky frozen products. Uniformity in size 
is an important consideration, too; for ex- 
ample, asparagus spears and snap beans are 
stored to better advantage if they are all of a 
size. 
Success in freezing vegetables starts with 
selecting the proper varieties for freezing.
