ONIONS. One ounce of seed will sow loo feet of drill, five to six pounds will sow an acre. For sets sow thirty or forty pounds. Culture.—A rather deep, rich loamy soil is most suitable for this crop. The ground should be heavily dressed with ricli, well rotted manure, trenched deeply and ridged up early in Autumn, if the soil is ot a light sandy nature, cow manure will be the most suitable. The main crop should be sown as early as the ground is in working condition, sow the seed thinly and regularly, and cover with the soil displaced in making the drills or where this is too lumpy with other fine soil. Rows should be twelve inches apart and four to six inches wide between the Onions. Those wishing large quantities of Onion Seeds write for special prices. Varieties. PKT. OZ. /iLB. LB.
