'J'he 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 
ury 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 in autumn and transplanted in spring, when under fair conditions enormous 
exhibition specimens are obtained. 
“ I h.id two .splendid beds of Record and Aiha Craig Onions sown last August."— E. W. SiiCKii tan, Esq., Sloke Hill, January 
•jth^ 1907. 
“ From the two packets of Onion seed {IVhi/c Spanish and Bedfordshire Champion') we got over a ton of Onions." — 
Mr. R. Maksuall, Spalding, November tthy 1906. 
“The produce from your seeds was excellent at the Annual Show at Knebworth. I swept the board, and won a Challenge 
Shield beside money prizes.” — Mr. Frank Whi.i.and, 1, Harold Villas, Knebworth, September I'^ih, 1907. 
Ailsa Craig Onion.— “Those I had last year turned out very fine and wonderfully true." — Mr. A. McDo.nalu, 
Newbaltle Gardens, January 2^rd, 1907 
237, 738, & 97, High Holrorn, London. — 1908.
