ONION. (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. One ounce of seed io 

 one Jntndrcdfcet of drill ; four to five pounds an acre.
