The Cultivation of Onion. — The ground cannot well be too rich for this crop, nor the soil in too fine a condition. Sow 
the seed as early as the soil can be worked though the weather be yet damp and cold. 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. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds to an acre.
