The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well-rotted manure freely, and get th i 
as possible in the spring, no matter if it is cold and unpleasant. If Onions do Note oat a good iE eee Dees hee 
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. It is useless to try to grow onions on poor, unsuitable soil. Three days 
of neglect when the weeds are growing rapidly will sometimes ruin a crop, and a week too late in sowing makes the 
difference between a good and a bad harvest. With proper manuring, Onions can be grown

score of years, and it will become cleaner and better every year. = 3 ean) torka:
