CULTURE—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 thoroughly so as to get the soil fine and 
level. Sow thinly in drills half an inch deep, rows 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. The small onions pulled may be eaten green and the 
balance allowed to mature. 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 Ibs. to the 
acre.
