 One ounce for 100 feet of drill. 4 to 6 pounds in drills for an acre. 



The Onion thrives best in a rather deep, rich, loamy soil, and, unlike most vegetables, succeeds well when cultivated on the same 

 ground for successive years. The best culture requires that the ground should be deeply trenched and manured the previous 

 autumn, and laid up in ridges to pulverize during the winter. As early iu the spring as the ground is in working order, comniouee 

 operations by leveling the ground with a rake, aud tread it firmly; sow thinly in drills about a quarter of an inch deep, and one feet 

 apart; cover with fine soil and press down iirmly. When the young plants arc strong enough, thin gradually so they stand three 

 or four inches apart. Keep the surface of the grouud open and free from weeds by .frequent hoeing, taking care not to stir the 

 soil too deeply, or to collect it about the growing bulbs. Success awaits you by planting Buckbee's Celebrated Stock. 



Remember That I Grow All My Onion Seed. Western Grown Seeds are the Best.
