The cultivation of the onion, on an
extensive scale, seems not to be wei!
understood in Chester county. Where
this esculent is largely cultivated for
market, sets Of the previous years
growth arc not used :-tlc article is
grown directly from the sccd-the
same kind ofseed, precisely, which we
use for growing sets. We, therefore,
use two seasons to perfect 4 growth
which may be accomplished in one.
The ground should be spaded two
spits deep and well pulvcrised; the
upper spit, particularly, should be
worked very fine. The manure should
be used as top dressing, and well
mixed with the upper surface by means
of rake or pronged hoe, or in field
culture, with a harrow. Fresh, or
rough manure, will not answer. 1t
should be two years old, we'll rotted,
very fine, and applied literally
Good compo#s made tho preceding
summer, will answer
Lay out the ground in beds three
feet wide, with one foot alleys between
them. These alleys should be shov-
elled out six inches deep and spread
over the beds. Line those beds off in
inch squares and drop FIVE or six seed
! in each crossing of the lines, cover
them with the fingers from three.
fourths to an inch deep, and settle
the surface of the bed with the back. o.
the spade, or light roller. After
the seed comes up, hoe the ground fre
quently to keep it loose; but never
hill up. If tho bulbs choose to grow
on top Of the ground, let them do SO
THERE'S onepeculiari'y about grow
ing onions that will not apply to an.
other crop with which we arc acquaint
ed. That is, it requires no rotation
The longcr,hat they are cultivated OF
tho same ground, the better they pro
duce. Only give the ground liberal
manuring every year; but that manure
must be well rottcd and pulverized as
above stated. There are onion beds
in New England that have been used
as such for seventy years. We hope
our gardeners will profit by this hint
The ground should beprepsred and
the seed planted as early nthe spring
as the soil will be in good working
condition.-Rcgister j. Examiner.
