in the rows ; it is very productive, a small bed therefore generally suffices for ordinary pur|)Oscs.

GREAT SPECIALITY. 
OUR ONION FIELD BETWEEN JUNE AND SEPTEMBER. 
CULTURE • — The ground should be double dug in October or early in November, great care being taken to intermix a heavy dressing of night 
soil, pig or strong manure, keeping as great a portion of the manure as possible at the bottom of the trench. The ground can then be left in its rough 
state until early in January, when a good dressing of soot may be spread over the surface, which is not only a preventive for the maggot, but a valuable 
stimulant for the Onion throughout its different stages of growth. Nothing more should be done until the end of February or March, when 
(weather permitting) the beds should be pointed over, well raked, and rolled or trodden down firm, and the seed drilled in rows 1 foot apart, which 
leaves ample room for a draw hoe, which cannot well be used too often if care be exercised to avoid any injury to the tops. As soon as the Onions are up 
and well established thin out to 9 Inches apart, and during an early stage of their growth a liberal top-dressing of spent mushroom bed manure would be 
beneficial in keeping the ground moist and cool in hot, dry seasons, and saving a considerable labour in watering. When they are in full growth a dressing 
of our “Real Manure,” 2 ounces to the yard, will uo wonders for them, especially if well watered in, should the weather be dry. Soot sown 
broadcast in showery weather will help to keep down the mildew and also encourage growth. For what are termed Tripoli or Winter Onions, sow early 
tn August and transplant the following Spring. Onions may be grown on the same piece of land for years if good tillage is kept up every season. By 
'.sowing the Tripoli or Autumn Onions early in August, and transplanting the seedlings in due course, followed wth a sowing, weather permitting, of Early 
Eight Weeks in February, and then again with the Spring varieties, it is possible by this method to have Onions throughout the year.
