FOR THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 23 ONIONS. ' Zweibel, Ger. Ognon, Fr. Cebolla, Sp. One ounce for one hundred feet of drill; six pounds for one acre. For sets, sow the seeds as early as possible in the spring, very thickly, in drills. As soon as the tops die off in summer, remove them 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, keeping them well hoed and free from weeds; for this purpose the Red Wethersfield and Yellow Danvers 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; when the plants have grown of sufficient size to be fit for table use, thin out to 4 inches apart, to secure a crop of 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. Extra Early Red. Earlier than the Wethersfield, and somewhat smaller, close-grained and a good keeper. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts.,- i lb. 50 cts., lb. $ Early Yellow Cracker.
