ONIONS 
(CEBOLLA) 
One ounce of seed to one hundred feet of drill; four 
pounds to the acre. 
Onions, unlike most vegetables, succeed well when cul¬ 
tivated on the same ground for successive years. F"or 
early spring crops the seed is usually sown in August 
or September in this vicinity. Sow in beds and trans¬ 
plant, any time after the Onions are as large as straws, 
to 3 or 4 inches apart in rows. Best time for trans¬ 
planting is January. When this system of transplanting 
is used, about two pounds of seed will furnish plants 
enough for an acre. When the seed is planted directly 
in the fields, sow in rows 12 to 16 inches apart, sowing 
the seed thinly and covering thinly. When the plants 
are of good size, thin to 3 or 4 inches apart in the row. 
Onions will always keep better if, when irrigating, water 
is never allowed to touch the plants. Steady growth 
whether from disease or drought, causes them to run to 
seed badly. Planting the seed too early in the fall will 
also cause them to run to seed. An average crop of 
Onions runs from fifteen to twenty thousand pounds to 
the acre. Wlhen the bulbs are matured the tops die 
down. Onions do not keep so well if the tops are rolled 
or planked down while still green. It requires about 
two full weeks to properly mature onions after they are 
pulled, and it is best not to top and sack until ready 
to ship to market. If they are to be kept for any length 
of time, they should never be sacked, but should be put 
under cover on the floor or in a bin with abundance of 
circulation of air and be kept absolutely dry. 
Ready for green Onions 60 days from seed.
