This antique text contains a detailed guide to onion production. The
authors intention in writing this book was to bring together the more
important facts regarding the culture and handling of onions. Easy to
digest and full of timeless information, this text will be of much value

Soil', 'Types and Varieties for Many Uses', 'Soils and Their
Management', 'Planting and Care of the Crop', 'The Specialized Industry
of Onion Seed and Set Production', 'Growing Green Onions for Bunching',
etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage work now complete with
