Reliable Onions 
Onions are highly praised for their tonic quali¬ 
ties and their use is advocated by physicians 
everywhere. The soil best suited to grow a good 
crop of Onions is one that is reasonably fertile, 
well drained, and well prepared. Cover the 
seed lightly and when the seedlings are 3 to 4 in. 
tall, thin them to stand sufficiently far apart 
to develop without touching one another. When 
the bulbs have reached maturity, bend down 
the tops to hasten ripening before the Onions 
are harvested. One oz. of seed will give 200 
ft. of drill; 4 to 5 lbs. are required for one 
acre. Onions require from 100 to 
120 days to come to maturity.
