ONION 
A strong, deep, rich and loamy soil is most suitable 
for this crop. Muck beds well drained to the depth 
of two feet give large yields. The ground should be 
heavily dressed with well rotted manure, and plowed 
a moderate depth, taking a narrow furrow in order to 
more thoroughly mix the manure with the soil; if 
possible the plowing should be done in the fall. As 
early in the spring as the ground is in working order 
harrow it thoroughly and make as fine and level as 
possible; sow thinly in drills one-fourth inch deep and 
14 inches apart.
