GARDEN SEED ANNUAL 
ONION SEED 
Culture —Sow in rich, well drained soil early in 
the spring, and cover a half inch deep. When 
large enough, thin out to allow plenty of room 
for growth, as nice bulbs will not grow if crowded. 
An ounce will sow 200 feet of row; 6 pounds per 
acre, although 10 or 12 pounds may be used on 
ground where onions have been grown steadily 
for years. 
THE EARLIEST GLOBE ONION

onion, which can be harvested fully three weeks
