good rich soil, so as to cause a quick, ten¬

rows about twelve inches apart. For suc¬ 
cession, sow at any time during the spring.

ONIONS 
(1 oz. to 200 ft. of drill, 4 to 5 lbs. per acre) 
CULTURE —Any good soil will grow 
Onions, but for the largest crops the soil 
must be heavily manured. Select a clean 
piece of ground, as free from weeds as pos¬ 
sible. Very early in the spring plow or 
spade deeply and harrow or rake the sur¬ 
face fine. Sow the seed thinly in straight 
rows one foot apart, covering one-fourth 
inch deep and press the soil about the 
seeds with roller or back of spade. Hoe 
lightly as soon as up; keep free from 
weeds; when three inches high, thin out to 
two inches apart in the row.

always bring a higher price on the market 
than the flat varieties. The Red Globe is

market will find this a paying sort.
