Onions should not be planted in the sumo location two yours in succession as the onion maggot Is likely to becomo troublesome. The old-fashioned test of seed, pouring It into a bucket of water and skimming off the floaters as worthless. Is a sound one. Onions of the flat type, such as tho Kod Wethcrsfield, do better In the poorer soils than the big globe types. ' union seed may be sown with othtft early vegetables as It Is long- in germinating than rudtshes and by the time it makes lis ap pearance It will bo reasonably safe from the weather. For tho earliest young onions a few hills of the hardy variety, known us the mtill plier or potato onion, should be plunted. They endure winter freez ing und start Into growth with the opening of spring.
