Onions. 



The Onion must have a clean and very rich 

 soil, which should be thoroughly cultivated, or it 

 will not do well enough to pay for the trouble. 

 Use well-rotted manure freely and be sure to get 

 the seeds or sets in as early as possible in the 

 spring, no matter if it is ever so cold or unpleas- 

 ant, and keep the soil mellow and clear of weeds, 

 and if seed is good you will have a large crop of 

 Onions. On no other condition can you hope for 

 success. Disturb the roots of the Onion as little 

 as possible, either in thinning or hoeing, and 

 never hoe earth towards them to cover or hill, as 

 we do most other things.
