They may also be grown to full size during the first season by sowing thinly in drills 1 foot apart, and about I 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, keeping them well hoed'and free from weeds ; for this purpose the Red Wethersfield and Yellow Banvers are usually preferred. They delight in a strong, rich, deep, loamy soil, and succeed well if grown successive years on the same ground. Seed can be sown in August and September, in drills wide enough apart to admit of working, and when they have grown of sufficient size in the spring to be fit for table use thin out to 4 inches apart, to allow the remaining crop to mature large Onions. This plan works admirably in the South, but will not prove successful where the ground freezes deeply or is subject to constant changes of temperature in spring.
