Superior Onion Seed. 



American Grown. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill ; 4 to 5 lbs. to acre. 



The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well- rotted 

 manure freely, and get the seed in as early as possible in the spring, no 

 matter if it is cold and unpleasant. If Onions do not get a good growth 

 before hot dry weather, the crop is sure to be a failure. Keep the soil 

 mellow and clear of weeds. Sow in shallow drills, not less than a foot 

 apart nor more than half an inch deep. As Onions grow on top of the 

 ground they may be allowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they 

 crowd each other. In hoeing to destroy weeds and keep the ground 

 mellow, do not cover the young bulbs with earth. It is useless to try 

 to grow Onions on a poor, unsuitable soil. Three days of neglect 

 when the weeds are growing rapidly will sometimes ruin a crop, and a 

 week too late in sowing makes the difference between a good and a bad 

 harvest. With proper manuring, Onions can be grown on the same land 

 for a score of years, and it will become cleaner and better every year.
