Onions, 



The Onion must have a clean and 

 very rich soil 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 and unpleasant, 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 hoe- 

 ing, and never hoe earth towards them 

 to cover or hill, as we do most other 

 things.
