For sets, sow the seeds as early as possible in the spring, very tliickly, in drills. As soon as the tops die off in summer remove tlieni to a dry, airy place ; and early in the following spring replant by placing the sets in shallow drills 12 inches apart, and about 4 inches apart in the drills; the Onions, by this process, are obtained of a large size early in the season. They may also be grown to full size during the first season by sowing thinly in drills 1 foot apart, and about \ inch deep, in March or early in April, in strong land, well manured, and thinning them out to stand 3 or 4 inches apart in the drills. They delight in a strong, rich, deep, loamy soil, and succeed well if grown successive years on the same ground. By sowing Onion seed in frames in February or March, and transplanting in April, Onions of immense size can be obtained. For this purpose the varieties Southport Globe (White, Yellow or Red) and Prizetaker are usually preferred. Australian Brown. (See description, page 5.) Yellow Globe Danvers.

It is the best paying Onion that is grown for general crop, and will be the leading variety for years. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 CIS.; \ lb,, 50 Cts.; lb., §150. Southport Yellow Globe.
