ONIONS 
The Onion should have a clean, loamy and very rich soil. The use of well rotted compost 
is very beneficial and Onions will do well if sown on the same piece of land for a succession of 
years. Sow seed as early as possible, in drills 14 inches apart and half an inch deep. As Onions 
grow on top of the ground they may be allowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd 
each other. In hoeing, which should he frequently done, do not cover the young bulbs with earth. 
1 oz. of seed will sow a bed 6 by 200 feet.
