Ognon, Fk. Cebo/la, Sp. ^ For sets, sow the seeds as early as possible iu the spring, very thickly, in drills. As soon as the tops die oif iu sum- mer, remove them to a dry, airy place; and early iu 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 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 yiiiipose the Red AVethersfield and Yellow Danvers are usually preferred. They delight in a strong, rich, dee]), 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 tlie gi'ound. freezes deeply or is subject to constant changes of temperature in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Henry A.
