CULTURE. 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 dress- 
ed 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. -
