Salad Onions.

Salad Onions.
Green onions should be found grow
ing in every Tennessee garden right
now, but it is not too late to plant
bulbs for early spring use. Any bulb
onions from last years crop will make
good salad onions. The market gar
deners prefer the Multiplier or the
potato onion, but culls from crop
Of Yellow Danvers or White Globe
will do very well.
The land cannot be too rich for
onions, and a sandy loan that drains
we'll and warns early is best Use
barnyard manure in preference to any
other fertilizer, and use freely: fifty
tons per acre is not an excessive
amount Plant the bulbs in rows fif-
teen inches apart, the bulbs touching
in the row. Cover about one inch to
get a good length of white base to the
green onion.
The onion loves cool weather, and
every day throughout the winter that
the weather is a few degrees above
freezing the bulbs grow so that a
planting made in December will give
salad onions in March if the land is
light, well drained, and rich.
Spinach.
Everybody likes green's, and almost
every Tennessee garden has turnip
green's growing in it for winter use.
They are good, but spinach is better.
The best time to SOW spinach for
so the young plants can become

throughout the winter. Everywhere in
the state February sowing should
be made for early spring use. Market
gardeners use spinach as "catch
crop" sowing it in drills alongside
the salad onion rows. 1t succeeds we'll

soil rich in humus. All winter grow

to insure the warming OF the soil.

Kale.
Kale is member of the cabbage
family which does not form a head,

green's. The market gardeners cut
the entire plant, but in the home gar
den the plant will continue production

leaves are left, cutting only the ma.

Kale may be sown any time after
the middle of September; the earlier
sowings being ready for use in about
two months. Late sowings grow slow.
