ONIONS 
Onions are highly praised for their tonic qualities and their 
use is advocated by physicians everywhere. The soil best 
suited to grow a good crop of Onions is one that is reason¬ 
ably fertile, well drained, and well prepared. Cover the 
seed lightly and when the seedlings are 3 to 4 in. tall, thin 
them to stand sufficiently far apart to develop without 
touching one another. When the bulbs have reached matur¬ 
ity, bend down the tops to hasten ripening before the 
Onions are harvested. One oz. of seed will give 200 ft. of 
drill; 4 to 5 lbs. are required for one acre. Onions require 
from 90 to 120 days to come to maturity.
