Breck’s Yellow Globe Danvers Onion* 
Onion. 
German, Zweibel. — French, Ognon. — Spanish, Cebolla. 
The onion thrives best in rather strong, deep, loamy soil, which should be well enriched with old well-rotted 
manure or compost, or what is better, deeply trench, add manure the autumn previous to sowing, and lay upon ridges 
during the winter to soften. Sow the seed thinly in drills about one-quarter inch deep and one foot apart. To ensure 
quick and safe germination after sowing the seed, the drills should be trod along evenly with the foot, and then raked 
even, so that the hot, dry atmosphere may not dry up and destroy the sprouting seed. When three inches high, thin 
to three inches apart. Hoe frequently. Where the hoe cannot be used, the soil should bestirred with the fingers, other¬ 
wise weeds will quickly grow up and choke the crop. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet drill; four pounds per acre.
