ONION. 
f Onions thrive best on a rich, deep, loamy soil. For sets, the seeds should be sown very thickly 
in drills as early as possible in spring. In summer, as soon as the tops die down, harvest the bulbs and 
store them in a dry, cool place, spreading them in thin layers. Early in the following spring replant them 
4 inches apart, in small drills 12 inches apart, and they will form into fine, large bulbs early in the 
season. Large Onions may also be grown from seed the first season if the land is strong and well 
manured, the seed sown thinly in drills a foot apart, and the seedlings thinned to stand 8 or 4 inches 
apart in drills; they must be well cultivated and kept free from weeds. Five pounds per acre will be 
required for large onions; for sets, 25 to 30 pounds. 
One-half oz. to 100 feet of drill.

PARSNIP. 
Sow the seed in drills 15 inches apart as early as possible in spring, and thin the plants until they 
are 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. The rvots are much improved by frost; to be dug up as required. 
On the approach of cold weather, cover them heavily with manure or litter. Deep, rich, heavy soil is 
best suited to the culture of Parsnips, and the roots will be smooth and large if no fresh manure is used, 
as this tends to make them coarse-grained and misshapen. One-half oz. to 50 feet of drill; 8 pounds 
to the acre.

PEAS. 
Postage to be Paid by Purchaser. See Parcel Post Rates on Front Page. 
Peas succeed in light, dry, loamy soil. Early and dwarf sorts require richer soil than the late varieties. 
If manure is used let it be old and well rotted, or there will be a rank growth of vines with few pods. 
Sow the early, smooth, round sorts as early in spring as the ground can be worked. Seeds of wrinkled 
varieties are more liable to rot if the ground is cold and must be planted later. Sow all the varieties 
quite early and depend for succession upon the different times of ripening of the various sorts, or from 
the first sowing sow every two weeks until June for a succession. One-half pound to 100 feet; 2 bushels
