Onion. 
Cultivation. — To grow onions successfully the ground cannot be too rich ; if possible, heavily manure and trench deeply a 
piece of land specially in the autumn, and leave in ridges during the winter to soften. If large Onions are required early sowing 
is necessary ; the first or second week in February is not too early, but for ordinary crops March is the best month. Sow thinly ia 
drills about a quarter of an inch deep and nine inches apart, keep clear of all weeds by hoeing, and if growing for exhibition thia 
well and give an occasional watering of liquid manure. To produce small pickling Onions the seed should be sown very thickly 
and on poor soil. Sow Tripoli , and other winter varieties during July and August.

COOLING’S IMPROVED WHITE SPANISH. 
This has been grown in our own seed grounds 
from selected bulbs for several years, and is 
far superior to that generally sold as White 
Spanish, being larger in size, more solid, and 
handsome in shape ; we have grown it side by 
side with Reading, Nuneham. Park, and others, 
and found it far superior, and consider it the 
most useful Onion in cultivation for general 
crop ... 1 6
