ONION". 
No vegetable is more extensively known and cultivated than the Onion. A 
good crop is impossible unless the soil is very rich and kept clean. Use well- 
rotted manure freely, and get the crop in as soon as possible in spring, no 
matter if the weather is cold and unpleasant. Sow in drills one foot apart 
and cover about one third of an inch, treading or rolling after sowing, so that 
the hot, dry atmosphere may not dry up and destroy the sprouting seed. 
One ounce to one hundred feet of drill ; jive pounds to the acre.
