CURRIE'S EXTRA YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS ONION. Culture—The Onion is most successfully grown in a deep, rich loamy soil, and, unlike most vegetables, does best when cultivated in the same ground for a succession of years. Manure the ground well In the fall, and turn up in ridges, during the winter, and as early as it will work in the spring rake or hafrow thoroughly so as to get the soil fine and level. Sow thinly in drills half an inch deep, rows twelve inches apart, and cover with fine soil, pressing it down. Keep the ground free from weeds and thin out the young plants so they may stand three or four inches apart. The small onions pulled may be eaten green and the balance allowed to mature. Along in July the tops may be broken down by lightly trampling upon them, or if a large quantity is planted a good method is to take a barrel and roll them down. This tends to stop the top growth and the bulbs then develop more rapidly. 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre. AILSA GRAIG ONION—Extra Selected Stock.
