ONIONS 
PLANTING' DIRECTIONS —1 oz. for 100 ft. row; 
5 to 6 lbs. per acre. 
Onions require a very rich soil. Spread well-rotted 
manure liberally over the ground in fall, plow or spade 
this under deep. Leave the ground lay rough during 
winter. The alternate thawing and freezing will help to 
pulverize the soil. In spring prepare seed-bed smooth and 
level. Plant as early as possible in rows 1 foot apart 
and thin to 3-4 inch between the plants. Cultivate often 
and keep onions free from weeds.

Peas are safe to sow as early as the ground cap

too much. Sow double rows, these to be ^4 inches
