Prizetaker 
ONIONS 
The soil best suited to grow a good crop of Onions is one 
that is reasonably fertile, well-drained, and well pre¬ 
pared. Sow seed as early in the spring as the ground 
can be worked; space rows 1 to ft. apart. 
Cover the seed lightly, and when the seedlings 
are 3 to 4 in. tall, thin them to stand suffi¬ 
ciently far apart to develop without touching 
one another. When the bulbs have reached 
maturity, 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 re¬ 
quire from QO to 120 days to come to 
maturity.
