HOW WE RAISE THEM. 



We receive letters every year enquiring how to raise Onions, and for the 

 benefit of our patrons, we will give the method as practiced on our Seed Farms. 



Any land that will raise a good crop of corn, except stiff clay or gravely 

 soil, is suitable for Onions. We select a sandy loam with a light mixture of 

 clay, as it is much easier to work and produces good crops. Land that has been 

 worked two years previously in hoed crops, and heavily manured for those crops, 

 and kept entirely free from weeds, would be in a desirable condition to com- 

 mence with. Gather off any refuse that may be on it, and in October apply 

 about fifty cart loads of manure to an acre. The manure should have been 

 twice turned during the previous summer, and well femiented to destroy any 

 weed seeds that might be in it. Spread the manure evenly on the land and 

 plow it under, taking a narrow furrow, which will mix the manure more thor- 

 oughly with the soil. This will be all the preparation needed in the fall. As 

 early in the spring as the ground can be worked without injury, give it a thor- 

 ough dragging, first with an iron drag, then with a brush drag, after which rake 

 the entire piece with steel hand rakes.
