ONIONS. 



Ognon, Fr. Cfbolla, Sp. 







One ounce for 100 feet of drill ; 5 to 6 pounds for one acre. 



CULTURE.— for sets, sow the seeds as early as possible in the spring, very thickly, in drills. As soon as the tops die off in 

 summer remove them to a dry, airy place; and early in the following spring replant by placing the sets in shallow drills, 12 inches 

 apart, and about 4 inches apart in the drills; the Onions, by this process, are obtained'of a large size early in the season. They 

 m.iy also be grown to full size during the first season by sowing thinly in drills 1 foot apart, and about \ inch deep, in March or 

 €Arly in April, in strong land, well manured, and thinning ihem'out to 'stand 3 or 4 inches apart in the drills. They delight in a 

 strong, rich, deep, lo.imy soil, and succeed well if grown successive years on the same gnmnd.
