Onion Seed. Spanish King:, (Btoiebel.) Good Onion Seed is of the g-reatest importance. Ours is all g^rown from carefully selected stock. NIONS thrive best on a rich, deep, loamy soil, and, unlike most other crops, rnay be grown successfully for a number of years on the same ground. For sets, the seed should be sown very thickly in drills as early as possible in spring. In summer, as soon as the tops die down, harvest the roots and store them in a dry, cool place, spreading them in thin layers. Early in the follow- ing spring replant them 4 inches apart, in small drills 12 inches apart, and they will form in fine, large roots early in the season. Large Onions may also be grown from seed the first season, if the land is strong and well manured, the seed sown thinly in drills a foot apart, and the seedlings thinned to stand 3 or 4 inches apart in the drills ; they must be well culti- vated and kept free from weeds. For this purpose Yellow Danvers and Red Wethersfield are generally preferred. An ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill. Five pounds per acre will be required for large Onions ; for sets, 30 pounds. : DANYERS. We have a ve7y superior stock of this celebrated variety, which is one of the most popular and profitable that can be grown for market. The roots are of fine shape and grow to good size, while the yield per acre is enormous, averaging from 600 to 800 bushels on good soil and with good culture. The bulbs have a thin, yellow skin and mild, fine grained, white flesh ; they grow to fine size the first year, and keep unusually well. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Mlb. 30 cts., lb.
