\ 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 bea 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 tu remain pretty thick, no matter if 
Prizetaker.—The American-grown. _Prize- 
taker seed we offer produces large well ripened 
bulbs the first season from seed ; flesh white; crisp, 
and mild in flavor. The skin is thin; of a bright 
straw-yellow; form nearly a per- 
fect globe. Under ordinary cul- 
tivation this variety will yield 
bulbs nearly three times as 
large as the Globe Danvers, 
while under special cultivation 
specimen bulbs have been raised 
to weigh from four to five anda 
half pounds each. These are 
the large mild Onions which 
are sold in small crates in the 
early fall and are esteemed for 
their large size, handsome ap- 
pearance, mild and delicate 
flavor. While the bulbs of this 
variety bottom well and ripen 
up quite firmand hard, they do 
not keep well after very cold 
weather sets in, owing to the 
tender character of the flesh, 
and we would advise marketing Mammoth Silver King.

In hoeing to destroy weeds 
and keep the ground mellow, do not 
cover the young bulbs with earth. 
It is useless to try to grow Onions 
on a poor, unsuitable soil. Three 
days of neglect when the weeds are 
growing rapidly will sometimes ruin 
a crop, and a week too late in sow- 
ing makes the difference between 
a good and a bai harvest. With 
proper manuring, Onions can be 
grown on the same land for a score 
of years, and it will become cleaner 
and bétter every year.
