WM. ELLIOTT & SONS, NEW YORK 13 Choice Onion Seeds 
ONIONS 
OIGNON. Cebolla. Brwtebel. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of row; 5 pounds is required for one acre. 
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, covering with fine soil, 
which should be pressed down by the use of a light roller or the back 
of aspade. 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 8 cents. 
per,pound for postage.
