To grow large bulba 1 ounce to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds to the acre. 

 To grow set8 10 ounces to 100 feet of drill; 50 pounds to the acre. 



The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well rotted 

 manure freely, and get the seed in as early as possible in the spring, no 

 matter if it is cold and unpleasant. If onions do not get a good growth 

 before hot, dry weather, the crop is sure to be a failure. Keep the soil 

 mellow and clear of weeds. Sow in shallow drills, not less than a foot 

 apart nor more than half an inch deep. As onions grow on top of the 

 ground, they may be allowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they 

 crowd each other. In hoeing, destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow; 

 do not cover the young bulbs with earth.

 ance if the bulbs are gathered as soon as ripened and carefully dried 

 under shelter away from the strong sunlight. When seed is sown at the 

 rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre, it makes bulbs of suitable size and most 

 desirable for pickling.
