SEED CATALOGUE. 
The Onion has been cul- 
tivated as 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 ma- 
nure freely, and get the crop 
in as early as possible in 
spring, even though the 
weather be cold and unpleas- 
‘ant. 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 totwo inches apart. 
Stir the ground freely with- 
out disturbing the young 
plants and keep free from 
weeds. One ounce of seed 
to one hundred feet of drill; 
four to five pounds an acre.
