ONIONS 
Onions are very hardy, and the seeds will germinate in cool 
weather. They can be safely planted just as soon as the soil 
can be prepared. Shallow planting is advisable, 14 to J4 inch 
being about right. When 2 or 3 inches tall, the young plants 
can be thinned to prevent crowding. They may be thinned 
again when 6 or 8 inches tall, and the plants removed can be 
used as green onions. After that, they may be pulled as 
needed, and those that are left to become fully ripe stored 
for winter. Onions mature in about 150 days. One ounce will 
sow 200 feet of row.
