Carrie's Bxtra Yello^v Globe Danvers Onion, 



German, ZT»-iebel. 



ONIONS 



French, Ogrnon. 



It pays to plant only the best. Our Onions are saved from 

 Selected Bulbs only, and are sure to produce the best crops of 

 sound and Ions-keeping bulbs. 



The Onion is most successfully grown in a deep, rich loamy 

 soil, and, unlike most vegetables, does best ■when cultivated 

 in the same ground for a succession of years. Manure the 

 ground well in the fall, and turn up in ridges during the 

 winter, and as early as it will work in the spring rake or 

 harrow thoroughly so as to get the soil fine and level. Sow 

 thinly in drills half an inch deep, twelve inches apart, and 

 cover with fine soil, pressing it down. Keep the ground 

 free from ■weeds and thin out the young plants so they may 

 stand three or four inches apart. 



1 ox, to 100 feet of drill; 5 to C lbs. to the acre.
