An ounce will sow 100 l'eet of drill. Four to five 
pounds to the acre for Large Onions. 
Culture: As early in spring as ground can 
be worked, sow in rich soil, thoroughly pul¬ 
verized and leveled, in rows 12 to 15 inches 
apart, covering one-half inch deep. 
A row or two of Onions in the home gar¬ 
den will furnish a supply from midsummer 
to winter. Onions are very hardy, and the 
seeds will germinate in cool weather. They 
can be safely planted just as soon as the soil 
can be prepared. Shallow planting is advis¬ 
able, y 4 to y 2 inch being about right. When 
2 or 3 inches tall, the young plants can be 
thinned to prevent crowding. They may be 
thinned again when 6 or 8 inches tall, and 
the plants removed can be used as green 
onions. After that, they can be pulled as 
needed, and those that are left to become 
fully ripe can be stored for winter.
