CLIBRANS’'EXHlBITION'’ONION. 
[F»-om a Photo.] 
Onions require a deep rich, heavy soil. Where the soil is not suitable, it should be heavily manured and deeply trenched the previous 
Autumn, and just before sowing made very firm. The seed should be sown early in March for Winter, and in August for Summer use. Thin 
out the plants to about six inches apart, and keep the surface free from weeds by hand-picking and frequent hoeing, taking core not to stir 
the soil too deeply or collect it about the Rowing bulbs. The Tripoli varieties attain a large size if transplanted in the;Spring. As a top 
dressing for an oniombed, use Clibrans’ Nitrogen Manure at the rate of 2 ozs. to the square yard.
