Oregon, 111. Last years Seeds were exceedingly productive. Leo Blem. ONION GermanâZwiebel. FrenchâOgnon. SpanishâCebolla. Auburn, Mass. Your seeds cer- tainly are the best to be had. John Kempski. The Onion thrives best in rather strong, deep, loam soil, which should be well enriched with old well-rotted manure or compost, or what is better, deeply trench, add manure the autumn previous to sowing, and lay upon ridges during the winter to soften. Sow the seed in drills about one-quarter inch deep and one foot apart. To ensure quick and safe germination after sowing the seed, the drills should be trod along evenly with the foot, and raked even so that the hot, dry atmosphere may not dry up and destroy the sprouting seed. When three inches high, thin to two inches apart. Hoe frequently to keep down weeds. In the seed rows where the hoe cannot be used, the soil should be stirred with the fingers, otherwise weeds will quickly grow and choke the crop. One ounce of seed will sow one hundred feet drill; four pounds to the acre. TWO NEW SORTS OF HIGH MERIT. Improved Globe Wethersfield.
