Perfect Yellow Globe Danvers 
ONIONS 
Culture .—For this important crop a clean, rich piece of land should be selected. As early as possible 
in the Spring work the soil into a mellow, loose condition, adding plenty of well-rotted barnyard manure or 
some good commercial fertilizer, pulverizing the soil thoroughly before sowing, the seed. Sow in drills 
15 inches apart, covering lightly with soil. When the plants are strong enough to handle thin out to about 
}/2 inch. Frequent cultivation is necessary to keep down the weeds. The earliest Onions are produced 
by sowing the seeds in hotbeds in February or March and transplanting to the open ground and also by 
setting Onion sets. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 4 to 6 pounds per acre.
