Dreer's Onion Seed 



Cebolla, Sp. 

 Zwiebel, Ger. 



One ounce of Onion seed for 100 feet of drill, 5 to 6 pounds for an acre. 



Culture— Large Onions are easily grown from seeds in one season provided the gardener has a 

 rich piece of ground and is willing to do the necessary hand weeding and transplanting of the young 

 Onions. Seeds may be sown very early in the spring in rows 18 inches apart, and as soon as seedlings 

 are 3 to 4 inches tall they should be thinned out to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Several appli- 

 cations of Bovung or wood ashes scattered on both sides of the row and hoed into the soil will benefit 

 the developing roots immensely. Pull when tops begin to die down, cure, and sell, or store in a cool, 

 dry place. By sowing seed of the Spanish type, such as Prizetaker and the Southport Globes, under 

 glass in February or March and transplanting in April to open ground 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows 

 bulbs of immense size may be produced.
