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 are generally sown irj autumn and transplanted in spring, when under fair conditions enormous exhibition specimens are 
obtained.
