Whore it is intended to grow Onions (irr an open situation, well exposed to the sun), the grotmd 
should be deeply trenched and manured the previous autumn, and laid up in ridges during the 
winter to soften. As early in March as the soil is in working order, commence operations by 
levelling the ground with a rake, and tread it firmly, draw shallow drills 9 inches apart, along 
which sow the seed thinly and rogulaiiy, or sow broadcast in beds 4 feet wide, with 18 inch alleys 
—the former plan is the best, as the drills admitting the use of the hoc, the soil can bo loosened 
without injuring the plants, besides which, it ensures a more regular and even crop — cover the 
seeds with fine soil, pressing it down on the drills or bods by the use of a light roller, or tho back
