CULTURE—The soil should be very carefully 
prepared for onions. The richer the soil, the 
better the crop will be. Plenty of fertilizer and 
wood ashes, well spaded in. are essential. Sow 
the seed as early as the ground can be worked, 
in rows 15 to 18 inches apart, covering y 2 inch 
deep. When the seedlings are 3 or 4 inches tall, 
they should be thinned out to stand 3 inches 
apart in the row. Keep them free from weeds 
and hoe often.

Certainly had good luck with the carrot 
?ed I bouht of you last year. Sowed two ounces 
of your Imperator and Nantes Coreless seed 
and I believe every seed grew, as I raised over 
twelve bushels, and canned many quarts besides. 
Got a wonderful crop from your Great North¬ 
ern Beans and were they good! Cooked in one- 
half the time other navy beans take to cook. 
Please send me your new seed book as soon as 
it is ready.
