Onions. 
Oignon. '^\x>vi\iti\\. Cebolla. 
One ounce will sow lOO feet of drill : 6 pounds will plant i 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 good 
start before the hot, dry weather, the crop is sure to be a failure. Sow in shallow drills not less than a 
foot apart ; when the plants are about 3 inches high thin to the distance of 3 or 4 inches, according to 
variety. lu doing this, disturb those that remain as little as possible. 
A valuable book for every one who raises onions is "THE NEW ONION CULTURE," by B. T. Oreiner, 
which will be sent free by mail for 50 cents.
