ONIONS— Zwiebel 



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 



and add decayed manure plenti- 

 fully. 



Good Onion Seed is of the 

 greatest importance
