CUIiTTJRE. A strong, deep, rich and loamy soil is most 
suitable, or even a black sandy loam. Muck ground, drained 
to the depth of 2 feet, gives large yields. The ground should 
be heavily dressed with well-rotted manure, and plowed a 
moderate depth, taking a narrow furrow; if possible the plow¬ 
ing should be done in the fall. As early in the spring as the 
ground is in working order, harrow it thoroughly and make 
as fine and level as possible; sow thinly in drills one-fourth 
inch deep and 14 inches apart. Do not ridge up to the growing 
bulbs. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds 
per acre for large onions; 60 to 60 pounds for sets.
