Onions 
(Cipollo, Cebolla, Zwiebel) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed is sufficient for 100 feet 
of drill, 4 pounds for one acre. Onion seed should be sown 
as early in the spring as possible to get the ground in 
shape, even though the weather is cold. Thorough prepara¬ 
tion of the soil is one of the most essential points in suc¬ 
cessful onion growing. They delight in a rich, deep sandy 
loam, but excellent yields can be obtained from heavier 
soils properly fertilized. Sow the seed in rows 12 to 14 
inches apart and about y 2 inch deep. After they are well 
started, or about 3 to 4 inches high, thin out to stand 
about 2 inches apart, keeping them well hoed and free from 
weeds at all times throughout the season.
