remove them to a dry, airy place, and early

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 1 in the season; also can be grown to full 
size during the first season by sowing thinly 
in drills 1 foot apart and about 4 inch deep
