R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



ONION. Zwiebel, (Ger.) Cebolla, (Sp.) 



The Onion had been cultivated as an jM-tiele of food from the earUest times, and is perhaps at the present^ day more universally 

 grown than anv other vegetable. A good crop is impossible unless the soil is very rich and kept clean. Lse well-rotted manure 

 freely, and get the crop in as early as possible in spring, even should the weather be cold and unpleasant. Sow m drills one foot apart 

 and cover about one-third of an inch, treading or rolling after sowing so that the hot, dry atmosphere may not destroy the sprouting 

 seed. When three inches high, thin to two inches apart. Stir the ground freely without disturbmg the young plants and keep free 

 from weeds. One ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; i to 5 pounds an acre.
