CULTURE. A strong, deep, rich and loamy soil is most suit- 
abie, 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 plowing 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; 50 to 60 pounds for sets.
