ONIO N. (Zwiebel.) 
The Onion has been cultivated 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. manure freely, and get the> 
crop in as early as possible in spring, even though 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. Oxe ounce of seed t@ 
one hundred feet of drill; four to five pounds an acre. 
Our Onion Seed is grown from bulbs carefully selected by hand, and is of most superior quality.
