ONION 
For this important crop a clean, rich piece of land 
should be selected. As early as possible in the spring 
work the soil into a mellow, loose condition and 
fertilize well. Sow in rows 15 inches apart, covering 
lightly. When plants are strong enough to handle 
thin out to 2 inches apart. Cultivate frequently 
and remove all weeds. Early Onions are produced 
by sowing the seed in hotbeds in February or March 
and transplanting, also by planting Onion Sets.
