HOLMES HARRISBURG, PA. ONIONS THOROUGHLY TESTED AND OF STRONGEST VITALITY. THE FINEST SELECTED STRAIN "We pride ourselves in selling the the very best Onion Seed that can be produced, and are now supplying some of the largest Onion growers of the country. By sowing our seed, large Onions may be produced direct from seed. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 5 pounds tcill sow an acre. CrLTURE. Sow in early spring, in moist soil, as soon as the weather will permit, in rows 12 inches apart, and cover half an inch deep. If the Onions grow too thick, thin to about an inch apart, or very few small Onions will le the result. Manure highly ( 20 loads per acre being used by market-gardeners with profit), and if manure is not plenty, some good , at the rate of 400 to 800 pounds per acre, will give splendid crops. A top dressing of wood ashes, applied after tlie second weeding, is very beneficial.
