LARGE RED GLOBE. Withthe 
exception, perhaps, of some of 
the white varieties, there is no 
onion that realizes such large 
prices as this, its beautiful

tremely desirable. The Large

of excellent quality. (See cut.)

YELLOW DUTCH. A flat, yellow 
WHITE PORTUGAL, OR SIL- 
German, Zwiebel.—French, Oignon. 
—Spanish, Cebolla. 
The Onion thrives best in a rather deep, 
[ORE # Onion Seed. 
* 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 pulverize. 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 thinlyin 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 
eare not to stir the soil too deeply, or to 
collect it about the growing bulbs. 
If by mail in quantities of 14 Ib. and 
upward, postage must be added at 
the rate of 8c. per lb. 
1 oz. for 100 feet of drill; 5 or 6 
lbs. in drills for an acre.

The vegetable and flower seeds that I 
purchased of you last spring had rathera 
hard struggle, owing to the unfavorable 
season and the ravages of the cut worms, 
but they came out in a most satisfactory 
manner, and I never raised as fine vegeta- 
bles or flowers as I did this year. I was par- 
ticularly pleased with the Eclipse Beet, 
New York Lettuce and Southport Onions.
