The Onion requires a loamy, mellow and yery rich soil ; and unlike most 
kinds of garden or field vegetables, succeeds well when cultivated on the 
same land fo'r successive years. Previous to sowing, the ground should 
he thoroughly spaded over or deeply plowed, and the surface made smooth 
and even. The seed should he sown as early in the Spring as the soil 
may be in good working condition, in drills fifteen inches apart and half 
an inch deep. When the plants are three or four inches high, thin them 
to two inches apart ; and in the process of culture, be careful not to stir 
the soil too deeply, or to collect it about the growing bulbs. Tour pounds 
of seed are sufficient for an acre.

Sow middle of March thinly in drills, one foot apart, and half an inch 
deep. As the seed germinates very slowly, it is best to soak it for a few 
hours in tepid water before sowing. For winter use protect in a glass 
frame or light cellar.
