It pays to plant only the best. Our Onions are saved from 

 Selected Bulbs only, and are sure to produce the best crops 

 of sound and long-keeping bulbs. 



The Onion is most successfully grown in a deep, rich loamy 

 soil, and, unlike most vegetables, does best when cultivated in 

 the same ground for a succession of years. Manure the ground 

 well in the fall, and turn up in ridges during the winter, and 

 as early as it will work in the spring rake or harrow thor- 

 oughly, so as to get the soil fine and level. Sow thinly in 

 drills half an inch deep, twelve inches apart, and cover with 

 fine soil, pressing it down. Keep the ground free from weeds 

 and thin out the young plants so they may stand three or 

 four inches apart. - 



1 ok. to 100 feet of drill; 5 to 6 lbs. to the acre.
