Sow in rich soil in drills one foot apart as early as possible in the Spring. Cover with fine soil and 
firm well. When plants are strong enough thin out to 3 or 4 inches. The largest Onions are produced 
by sowing the seed in a hotbed early in January or February and transplanting seedlings to the open

ing before the Onions are harvested.

Onion Sets 
(One pound to 75 feet of row—300 pounds to acre) 
It is very easy to raise Onions from sets. If the 
sets are set out early in the Spring, nice green 
Onions can be pulled in a few weeks. A little later 
the bulbs grow large and are then ready to use 
cooked. They are of very delicate flavor. The sets 
should be planted about 2 inches apart and covered 
an inch deep. A pound equals about one quart.
