CULTURE. —Onions are grown from seeds and also from Sets. To 
grow onions from seed, plant in the open in the early spring rather 
thickly, 24 inch deep in rows 18 inches apart, and later thin the plants 
to from 3 to 5 inches apart, and keep well cultivated. When grown 
this way 1 ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of row; 6 pounds to the acre. 
If Sets for planting the following spring are desired, sow the seed in 
March or April in wide rows, 20 to 40 pounds to the acre. When the 
tops die in the summer remove and store only the small Sets, spreading 
them thinly in a dry place, using the larger size for eating or pickling 
purposes. Onions require rich soil, and a liberal supply of manure 
from the poultry-house is very beneficial. But probably the most 
satisfactory way for the small home gardener to grow early green onions 
is from the Sets. These may be put out in the spring, in March or 
April, or in the fall, in Septembei and October, 3 inches apart in rows 1 
foot or more apart. One pound will set about 75 feet of row. Fer¬ 
tilize well and k< ep well cultivated.
