ONION 



Ognon, Fr.

An ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; four to five pounds to the acre. 



Culture. — Sow in rich soil, in drills 1 foot 

 apart, as soon as the ground can be worked in 

 the Spring; thin out to 2 inches apart in the row, 

 carefully keeping down the weeds. The finest 

 Onions are produced by sowing the seed in a hot- 

 bed in February or March, and transplanting 

 the seedHngs to the open ground 3 to 4 inches 

 apart, in April. For sets, sow the seeds as early 

 as possible in the Spring, very thickly, in drills ; 

 as soon as the tops die off in Summer remove 

 them to a dry, airy place; and early in the fol- 

 lowing Spring replant by placing the sets in 

 shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and 2 inches 

 apart in the drills.
