9NI0N SEED. 



German, Zwiebel. — French, Oignon. 

 — Spanish, Cebolla. 



The Onion thrives best in a rather deep, 

 rich, loamy soil, and, unlike most vegeta- 

 bles, succeeds well when cultivated on the 

 same ground for successive years. The 

 best culture requires that the ground 

 should be deeply trenched and manured 

 the previous autumn, and laid up in ridges 

 during the winter to pulverise. As early in 

 the spring as the ground is in working 

 order, commence operations by leveling 

 the ground with a rake, and tread it firmly ; 

 sow thinly in drills about a quarter of an 

 inch deep, and one foot apart ; cover with 

 fine soil, and press down with the back of a 

 spade or a light roller. "When the young 

 plants are strong enough, thin gradually so 

 that they stand three or four inches apart. 

 Keep the surface of the ground open and 

 free from weeds by frequent hoeing, taking 

 care not to stir the soil too deeply, or to 

 collect it about the growing bulbs. 



If by mail in quantities of 3o lb. and 

 upward, postage must be added at the 

 rate of 8c. per lb. Packets, ounces 

 and 34 lbs. are mailed free. 



1 os. for 100 feet of drill ; 5 or 6 

 lbs. in drills for an acre.
