Southport White Globe Onion 
ONIONS 
Onions are very hardy, and the seeds will germinate in 
eool weather. They can be safely planted just as soon as 
the soil can be prepared. Shallow planting is advisable, 14 
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 re¬ 
moved 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. Onions mature in about 150 
days. One ounce will sow 200 feet of row.
