The Onion is most successfully grown in a deep, rich, loamy soil, and, unlike most vegetables, does 
best when cultivated in the same ground for a succession of years. Trench and manure the ground wel 
in fall, and turn up in ridges during the winter, and as early as the ground will work in spring, rake 01 
harrow thoroughly so as to get the soil fine and level. Sow thinly in drills half an inch deep, twelve) 
inches apart, and cover with fine soil, pressing it down with the back of a spade or light rolier. Keep the 
ground free from weeds, and thin out the young plants so they may stand three or four inches apart. 
1 oz, to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre.
