Grow 
Your Onions From Seed 
NICHOLSON'S TESTED ONION SEED ~ A , 
If planting for big Onions sow one ounce of seed to 60 to 75 feet of drill, or 2 V 2 to 3 pounds per acre, in rows 
12 to 15 inches apart; for best results in growing large Onions, after they begin to bowl, carefully draw the dirt away 
from the Onion until bowl is covered about one-fourth inch, then take your garden hoe and smash the tops over on 
the ground; by doing this the strength all goes to the bowl and it develops very rapidly. If planting for green Onions, 
it requires about one ounce of seed to 25 or 30 feet of drill.
