 Caltare of Onion Seed.— Oz. to 100 ft. of Drill; 6 Lbs. to the Acre.— Use any grood 

 ; loil, preferably a rich sandy loani, previously cultivated. Fertilize liberally with rotted 

 manure or with artificial manures. Drill in seed to depth of K inch, at the rate of 4 or 5 

 pounds to the acre for large Onions ; 60 to 80 pounds per acre for Sets, or use Sets at the rati 

 of 6 to 10 bushels to the acre, or start Onion Seeds in frame, under glass, and transplant to 

 open ground 3 inches apart in the row. This excellent plan is often referred to as the "new 

 Onion culture." Onions are quite hardy and may be planted early. The soil may be used 

 year after year, without rotation of crops, if well fertilized annually. Winter storage de- 

 mands dryness, coolness, good ventilation and freedom from sudden changes. Spread 18 

 inches of straw on bam or garret floor, then 6 to 10 inches of Onions ; then 2 feet of straw ; 

 or keep on shelves in a dry cool cellar. Set large Onions in open ground in September; 

 protect with litter during Winter. 



214. White Silver SHin Onion.-This superior stock is almost exclusively used for grow- 

 ing sets, which is the strongest proof that it is the best from which to grow the large white 

 Onions. Its delicate, mild flavor, its stately form and large handsome size, its pure white

 shipping. Plants are of an extremely thin neck and type, and sure to ripen early. Bulbs 

 are perfect in form and quite thick through. They are fine-grained, crisp and mild. Bulbs 

 should be harvested as soon as ripened and dried in the shade to preserve their silvery white 

 skin, the attractiveness of which makes them command the highest market prices, and 

 removes the necessity for peeling them. PKt. lOc. Oz. 20c. 2 Ozs. 35c. 1/4 Lb. 60c.
