ONIONS 
The soil best suited to grow a good crop of Onions is one 
that is reasonably fertile, well drained, and well prepared. 
Sow seed as early in the spring as the ground can be worked; 
space rows 1 to 1>2 ft. apart. Cover the seed lightly, and 
when the seedlings are 3 to 4 in. tall, thin them to stand 
sufficiently far apart to develop without touching one an¬ 
other, When the bulbs have reached maturity, bend down 
the tops to hasten ripening before the Onions are harvested. 
One pkt. of seed will sow about 50 ft. of row; 1 oz. 200 ft.; 
4 to 5 lbs. one acre. Japanese Bunching and White Welsh, 
which are used as green onions or scallions, are best planted 
in July for harvest the following spring. 
682 Sweet Spanish O 
**Utah Strain** 
112 days. The large, globe-shaped Spanish Onions, which 
are sometimes incorrectly called “Bermudas,” are excep¬ 
tionally mild and sweet—excellent for eating raw or 
boiled. Utah Sweet Spanish grows to very large size, 
is remarkably uniform, globular, light yellow skin 
and pure white, firm, crisp, and tasty flesh. Al¬ 
though no Onions of this type will keep as well 
as American types, such as Yellow Globe Dan¬ 
vers, Southport, or Ebenezer, Utah Sweet Span¬ 
ish will stand shipping and storage for short 
periods better than Prizetaker, Gibraltar or the 
Bermuda varieties. Onions of the Spanish type 
grow to the largest size when they are planted to 
form their bulbs during the short days of spring 
or fall. 'In Northern states, seed is usually started 
indoors. Pkt. 10^; oz. 300; 4 ozs. 850;
