THE WELSH ONION.
This is very useful for supplying young onions for salading in early spring, A pateli sown in a spare corner in early March will produce a good crop that often comes in very useful. It is a perennial species, non-bulbous, with tapering roots and hollow stems and leaves, but it has the true onion flavour. The best flavoured plants are secured by sowing the seeds annually soon after destroying the old root. The plant is very hardy. At one time it was cultivated extensively in Wales, but at the present it is not often met with. With a small plot one is never without onions for flavourings and for salads. Sow the seeds thinly in drills half an inch deep and one foot apart. When the seedlings are an inch high transplant or thin out to six inches apart. Keep them free from weeds. Gather by cutting them one inch under the surface, when another crop is quickly formed.
