NIONS thrive best on a rich, deep, loamy soil, and, unlike most 

 other crops, may be grown successfully for a number of years 

 on the same ground. For sets, the seed should be sown ver\ 

 thickly in drills as early as possible in spring. In summer, a> 



soon as the tops die down, harvest the roots and store thei;\ 



in a dry, cool place, spreading them in thin layers. Early 

 in the following spring replant them 4 inches apart, in small 

 drills i2inchesapart, and they willformfine, large rootsearly 

 in the season. Large Onions may also be grown from seed tlu- 

 first season, if the land is strong and well manured, the seed 

 sown thinly in drills a foot apart, and the seedlings thinned 

 4 inches apart in the drills : they must be well cultivated and kept free- 

 For tliis purpose Yellow Danvers and Red Weathersfield are generall v 

 nee of seed will sow 100 feet of drill. Five pounds per acre will 

 for sets, 30 pounds.
