How to Raise Onions.

Mr.. Galen Oderkirk, of Newark,
Nj, writes to the Rural New Yorker
on the cultivation of the onion:
I. The best variety of seed, and
the most commonly cultivated, is
the Wethersfeld. 1t is red variety
The red varities are better growers
and keepers than the yellow or white.
The latter are, however, generally
higher priced; bat our experience is
that the red are the most profitable.
The best yellow and white kinds are
the Yellow Danvers and the Silver
skin, which 10 also called the White
Portugal.

old Is much Of it valueless. a No seed
should be used unless first tested.

sprouts will be seen starting from
each seed. It is well then, to mix
