Onion Seed. 



(3tt»te6el.) 



GOOD ONION SEED IS OF THE GREATEST IMPORTANCE. OURS IS GROWN 

 FROM CAREFULLY SELECTED STOCK. 



NIONS thrive best on a rich, deep, loamy soil. For sets, the 

 seed should be sown very thickly in drills as early as possible 

 in spring. In summer, as soon as the tops die down, harvest 

 the bulbs and store them in a dry, cool place, spreading them 

 in thin layers. Early in the following spring replant them 

 4 inches apart, in small drills 12 inches apart, and they will 

 form into fine, large bulbs early in the season. Large Onions 

 may also be grown from 

 seed the first season, if 

 the land is strong and 

 well manured, the seed 

 sown thinly in drills a foot apart, and the seed- 

 lings thinned to siand 3 or 4 inches apart in the 

 drills ; they must be well cultivated and kept 

 free from weeds. For this purpose Yellow Dan- 

 vers and Red Wethersfield are generally pre- 

 ferred. An ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of 

 drill. Five pounds per acre will be required 

 for large Onions ; for sets, 30 pounds.
