ONION. 
German, 3rotebe(. French, Ognon. 
Onions should have a clean, loamy and very rich soil in order to make them 
pay for the trouble and expense. The use of well-rotted compost is very beneficial 
to the seed bed, and Onions do well if sown upon the same piece of land for a 
succession of years. Sow seed as early in spring as possible, the earlier the better , 
on a warm, rich soil, as soon as it is in working condition, in drills fourteen 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 to 
destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow, which should be frequently done, do 
not cover the young bulbs with earth. If you follow the above directions, and your 
seed is good, you will have a good crop. Our American Onion seed this year is all 
of our own growing, every Onion examined before planting, and we believe it to be 
the purest and best in the world. Five pounds of seed is required to sow an acre. 
Southport Early Red Globe, a 
new variety, and decidedly the 
finest Onion yet introduced. 
Every Onion grower admires the 
old Southport strains, which al¬ 
ways bring an extra price but are 
too late to be relied upon to ripen 
north of Southern New England; 
but this new variety can be plant¬ 
ed with safety wherever the Dan¬ 
vers will mature. It differs from 
Early Red Globe in being much 
rounder and of finer quality.

eral cultivation; lb. $1.50, oz. 15c 5

lar size, straw colored, and
