ONION SEED 
O NIONS must have a clean and very rich soil, as it is useless to attempt to grow them on poor ground. A liberal use of manure is 
more essential to these than any other crop. Sow in drills not less than a foot apart nor more than half an inch deep, keeping the 
soil mellow and clear of weeds. One ounce will sow ioo feet of drill, or five pounds per acre.

For home use as well as exhibition purposes, Ailsa Craig combines 
all the necessary qualities for the ideal Onion. The skin is pale 
yellow, flesh snow-white, delicious in flavor, in fact, equal in every 
respect to the popular Spanish onions. While attaining an im¬ 
mense size, from one and one-half to two and one-half pounds at 
maturity, it is solid to the core, one of the most desirable points in 
large varieties. An other year’s experience with Ailsa Craig Onion 
convinces us that its goqd qualities have not been over-estimated, 
and that one who enjoys the Spanish onions will be greatly pleased 
with this variety. Plan to plant at least a packet in your garden 
this spring; more if you have room. Packet, sufficient to sow
