B. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.. BOSTON. VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



ONION. 



Ceholla. Zwiehel. 



The Onion has been cultivated as 

 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 im- 

 possible unless the soil is veiy rich and 

 kept clean. Use weU-rotted manure 

 freely, and get the crop in as early as 

 possible in spring, even should the 

 weather be cold and unpleasant. 

 Sow in driUs 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 jeet of 

 drill; 4 to 5 pounds an acre.
