ONION 



Onions are very hardy, and the seeds will germinate in cool weather. 

 They can be safely planted just as soon as the soil can be prepared. Shal- 

 low planting is advisable, J4 to J^ inch being about right. When a few 

 inches tall, the young plants can be thinned to prevent crowding, and 

 the plants removed can be used as green onions. After that, they can be 

 pulled as needed, and those that are left to become fully ripe can be 

 stored for winter.
