about %% or an inch deep, 1% ft. 
apart and 3°ins. apart in the row, 
but do-not cover them entirely. If 
desired plant closer and thin out 
the green onions in a few weeks for 
use as scallions. Keep the ground 
free of weeds by frequent hoeing. 
The tops begin to die and fall over 
in July at which time the onions are 
ready for lifting. For Fall and 
Winter keeping, store the bulbs in 
a dry, cool, airy place. :

Culture—Onion Sets are small un- 
dergrown onions, made so by sow- 
ing the seed very thickly in shallow 
drills early in the Spring. The same 
culture as for large onions is neces- 
sary. The best varieties to use are 
Japanese, Red Wethersfield and. 
White Silver Skin. The young plants 
form sets about the size of marbles 
by Midsummer. When the foliage 
becomes brown and dry they are 
ready for harvest. Cure and store 
in shallow racks placed in a dry, 
cool, airy place. Freezing will not 
hurt them if they are not handled 
_ ready to eat early in the Spring.
