For Onion culture the ground should be prepared the 
previous Autumn by plowing or spading deeply, using 
plenty of well-rotted barnyard manure. A rather strong, 
deep, rich, loamy soil is considered most suitable, although 
we have seen splendid crops raised from a stiff, clay soil, 
which was well under-drained. Sow the seed as early in 
Spring as practicable, in shallow drills 1 foot apart, cover- 
ing with fine soil, which should be pressed down by the 
use of a light roller or the back of a spade. When the 
young plants are strong enough thin out to 4 inches apart. 
Keep the surface of the ground open and free from weeds 
by hoeing frequently. 
If to be forwarded by mail, add at the rate of 6c. per pound for postage.

Onion sets should be planted very early in Spring in rows 12 inches apart, placing 
the sets 4 inches apart in the row. They must have high culture for the best results. 
When raised from sets, green Onions can be had in June, or they can be ripened off 
in July.
