LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1927 



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 w^ell 

 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. Along in July the tops may 

 be broken down by lightly trampling upon them, or if a large quantity 

 is planted a good method is to take a barrel and roll them down. This 

 tends to stop the top growth and the bulbs then develop more rapidly. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 4 to S lbs. to the acre.
