ONIO N. (Zweebel.) 
The Onion has been cultivated as an article of food from the earliest times, and is perhaps at the present day more universally grown 
than any other vegetable. A good crop is impossible unless the soil is very rich and kept clean. Use well-rotted manure freely, and get the 
crop in as early as s possible in spring, even though the weather be cold and unpleasant. Sow in 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 sprcuting seed. When three inches 
high thin to two inches apart. Stir the ground freely without disturbing the young plants and keep free from weeds. Oxe ounce of seed tc 
_one hundred feet of drill; four to five pounds an acre. 
(=~ California-grown Onion Seed is freely offered in our markets ata low price. We avoid it altogether, as in 
many seasons it is worthless in this climate. Our Onion Seed is grown from bulbs carefully selected by hand, and is 
of most superior quality.
