In spring of 1896, harrowed and ploughed from eight to 

 nine inches deep, and harrowed again. 



June 12th, sowed the seed in drills, twenty-eight inches 

 apart, with an onion seed sower. I used two pounds of 

 seed, most!}' Giant Ovoid. They are not quite as large 

 yielders as Intermediate Yellow or Xorbiton Giant, but 

 they are sweeter and keep better.
