The plants require to be set at least 3 feet apart each way, as they are very large and spreading.

For Onion culture the ground should be prepared the pre- vious autumn by plowing or spading deeply, incorporating a heavy dressing of well rotted barn-yard manure. A rather strong, deep, rich, loamy soil is considered most suit- able, although we have seen splendid crops raised upon a stiff clay soil, which was well underdralned. Sow the seed as early in spring as practicable, in shallow drills, 1 foot apart, covering with fine soil, which should be pressed down by the use of a light roller, or the back of a spade. When the young plants are strong enough, thin out to 4 inches apart. Keep the surface open and free from weeds by hoe- ing frequently. CAUTION: Beware of cheap onion seed. There is none better than ours, good seed can- not be sold for less than our prices this year.
