six pounds will plant one acre. A clean, deep, rich soil 
thoroughly worked is the best for this crop. Get the 
seed in as early as possible, for if the onions do not get a

apart ; when the plants are about three inches high, thin 
to the distance of three or four inches, according to va- 
riety. In doing this disturb those that remain as little as
