 stable manure, and mix thoroughly with the 

 soil; fill up a little above the level of the ground.

ONIONS-Zwiebel 



Onion seeds should be sown as early as possible to work 

 the ground, in drills one inch deep and twelve to sixteen inches 

 apart, in rich soil deeply dug and lightly rolled. Thin to one 

 inch apart. When sowing for sets, 

 seeds must be put in very thick, 

 at the rate of twenty pounds to 

 the acre. The same patch may 

 be used year after year for 

 onions and never made too rich. 

 To raise large onions, select a 

 bed of rich soil, work it deeply 

 and add decayed manure plenti- 

 fully. 



Good Onion Seed is of the 

 greatest importance
