CHOICE ONION SEED AND SETS 
Sow in rich soil, in drills 1 foot apart, as soon as the ground can be 
worked in the spring; thin out to 2 to 3 inches apart in the row, care¬ 
fully keeping down the weeds. The finest Onions are produced by 
sowing the seed in a hotbed in February or March, and transplanting 
the seedlings to the open ground, 3 to 4 inches apart, in April. For 
sets, sow the seeds as early as possible in the spring, very thickly, in 
drills; as soon as the tops die off in summer, remove them to a dry, 
airy place and early in the following spring replant by placing the 
sets in shallow drills, 1 foot apart, and 2 inches apart in the drills.
