ONIONS 
Onions require rich, mellow soil to develop into 
large bulbs. They are among the few vegetables 
which will grow in the same land for a number of 
years. Sow thinly in shallow drills, 1 foot or more 
apart, as soon as the ground opens, and cover seed 
lightly. Thin out to 4 inches apart. To obtain very 
large specimens sow the seed in the hotbed or 
greenhouse in February and March, and transplant 
outdoors the middle of April in well-fertilized ground.
