Onions— zwiebei 



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 year for onions 

 and never made too rich. 



To raise large onions, select a bed of rich soil, 

 work it deeply.

 Importance

 and shape but a trifle thicker and very much larger
