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 lbs. to the acre.
