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

 most vegetables, does best wben cultivated in the same ground for a succes- 

 sion of years. Trench and manure the ground well in fall, and turn up in 

 ridges during the winter, and as early as the ground will work in spring, rake 

 or harrow thoroughly 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 with the back of a spade or light roller. Keep the ground free from 

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

 apart. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill : 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre.
