Culture. The OnioQ had been cultivated a3 an article of food from the earliest times, and is perhaps at the present day more universally grown than any 

 other vegetable. A good crop is impossible unless the soil is very rich and kept clean. Use well-rotted manure freely, and get the crop in as early as possible in 

 spring, even should the weather be cold and unpleasant. Sow in drills one foot apart and cover about one-third of an inch, treading or rolling after sowing so that 

 the hot, dry atmosphere may not destroy the sprouting seed. When three inches high, thin to two inches apart. Stir the ground freely without disturbing the young 

 plants and keep free from weeds. One ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds an acre.

 It is of smooth, globular form, with small neck, consequently

 Globe Danvers makes it one of the best keeping sorts as well as
