ONION. 



German, Zwiebel. French, Olgnon. 



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. Trench and manure the ground well in the fall, and turn up in ridges 

 during the winter, and as early as the ground will work in spring, rake or harrow 

 thoroughly so as to get the soil fine and level. Sow thinly in drills half an inch 

 deep, twelve inches apart, and cover with fine soil, pressing it down with the 

 back of a spade or light roller. Keep the ground free from weeds, and thin out 

 the young plants so they stand three or four inches apart. 



If by mail in quantities of 3^ lb. and upwards, postage must be 

 added at the rate of 8 cts. per lb. 



1 oz \to 100 feet of di ill. 5 to 6 lbs pei aci e in di ills.
