ONION SEED 
CULTURE. A strong, deep, rich and loamy soil is most 
suitable, or even a black sandy loam. Muck ground, drained 
to the depth of 2 feet, gives large yields. The ground should be 
heavily dressed with well-rotted manure, and plowed a mod¬ 
erate depth, taking a narrow furrow ; if possible the plowing 
should be done in the fall. As early in the spring as the ground 
is in working order, harrow it thoroughly and make as fine and 
level as possible; sow thinly in drills one-fourth inch deep 
and 14 inches apart. Do not ridge up to the growing bulbs. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds per acre 
for large onions; 50 to 60 pounds for sets.

slow to germinate. When 1 or 2 inches high, thin out the 
plants to 6 inches apart in the rows.

winter use.
