Onions Are a Profitable Fall and Winter Crop in Florida and the West Indies 
ONION 
Sow 3 pounds in seed-bed to plant an acre, 
or plant 5 pounds per acre in field 
Crystal Wax Bermuda Onion 
Culture. First plantings are made the first of September 
and continued until March. October and November are the 
best months to plant. In Florida the seed is generally planted 
in the open field, where the onions are to grow, in rows 15 
inches apart, and when 4 to 5 inches high they are thinned out 
to 3 to 4 inches apart in the drill. Those taken out can be 
used to transplant any possible skips. Onion seed can also be 
planted in seed-beds and transplanted to the field later. This 
is a safe and sure method, and is becoming very popular in 
Florida. Transplanting generally produces less splits and more 
first grade onions.

the slightest trace of a bulb. These onions grow in clusters,
