CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One ounce to 100 feet of 
drill; about four pounds to the acre. Onions for the market 
are generally grown on muck land in Michigan, but may be 
grown for home use on any rich, loamy soil. They appreciate 
plenty of fertilizer on muck ; the market growers apply heavily 
about a 2-8-16 fertilizer. Drill in rows about a foot apart.
