CURRIE BROTHERS CO. 
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN 
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. 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. 
I oz. to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre.
