ONIONS— Zwiebd

 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 year for onions
