ONION SEEDS and SETS 



Good Onion Seed is of the greatest importance 



Onions thrive best on a rich, deep, loamy soil. For sets, the seed should be sown very thickly in drills as early as possible in spring. 

 In summer, as soon as the tops die down, harvest the bulbs and store them in a dry, cool place, spreading them in thin layers. Early in 

 the following spring replant them 4 inches apart, in small drills 12 inches apart, and they will form into fine, large bulbs early in the sea- 

 son. Large Onions may also be grown from seed the first season if the land is strong and well manured, the seed sown thinly in drills a 

 foot apart, and the seedlings thinned to stand 3 or 4 inches apart in the drills ; they must be well cultivated and kept free from weeds. 

 Five pounds per acre will be required for large onions ; for sets, 60 lbs.
