Onion Plants 
How to Grow Onions from Plants 
Plant in rows 14 to 16 inches apart; 4 inches apart in row. 
Cultivate shallow. When about 60 per cent of tops droop 
or are soft just above Onion pull up, let lay in sun for two 
or three days to increase firmness. For keeping for home 
use, let tops and roots remain and tie in bunches. Onion 
plants are put up in bunches of 100. We do not split bunches.
