Onion Seeds should be sown as early as possible to work the ground, in drills one inch deep and twelve to 

 sixteen inches apart, in rich soil, deeply dug and lightly rolled. Thin to one inch apart. When sowing for sets 

 seeds must be put in very thick, at the rate of twenty pounds to the acre. The same patch may be used year after
