Having grown Onions for many years, for market as well as for seed purposes, we are in a position to fully appreciate the necessity there is tor using great care iu the selection of the bulbs for seed production. There is no crop which depeuds more upon the quality of the seed. The seed we offer, we are sure, is not surpassed anywhere, and is thor- oughly testfd for vitality before it is sent out. so that it is sure to grow, where soil and season are favorable, and sure to produce an abundance of well-shaped bulbs, free from scullions or stiff-necks.

Onions delight in rich, deep, sandy loam, and succeed well if grown for a succession of years on the same ground. Deep plowing is said to prevent blight. To get heavy crops of finest shaped and high colored bnlbs, especially Danvers and other Globes, large quantities of well-rotted manure must be used—15 to 20 cords per acre would be none too much. If well-rotted manure is not to be had, use high grade commercial fertilizer co
