Culture. The Onion had been cultivated aa 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 possible io 

 Spring, even should 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 sprouting seed. When three inches high, thin to two inches apart. Stir the ground freely without disturbing the young 

 [plants and keep free from weeds. One ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 4 io 5 pounds an acre. 



YELLOW VARIETIES. 



Farquhar's Selected Yellow Globe Danvers. 



(Eastern Grown.) The finest type of this favorite American va- 

 riety, which is more extensively grown than any other Onion. 

 It is of smooth, globular form, with small neck, consequently 

 ripening very early. The solid character of Farquhar's Yellow 

 Globe Danvers makes it one of the best keeping sorts as well as 

 the most popular for market purposes.
