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 12 inches apart, and cover with fine soil, pressing it do^^^l. 

 Keep the ground free from weeds and thin out the young plants 

 so they may stand 3 or 4 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 lbs. to the acre.
