The Cultivation of Onion , — The ground cannot well be too rich for this crop, nor the soil in too fine a 
condition. February and March are the chief seasons for sowing. The soil must be made firm before the 
operation is undertaken in either beds or drills. The seed should be sown thinly and covered lightly, the drills 
12 inches apart, and the young Onions thinned out to about 6 inches apart, according to the variety. In very 
dry weather a good watering is very beneficial. Growers of Onions for exhibition generally transplant, and this 
is also a sure means of checking the onion grub, so troublesome in some districts. Some of the larger growing 
varieties arc generally sown in autumn and transplanted in spring, when under fair conditions enormous 
exhibition specimens arc obtained.
