ONION 
CULTURE. Many different methods of planting onion are in practice, but the one most 
practical to the general market grower is to grow from small plants started in the hot 
bed, or sets grown for this purpose. A very rich, heavy, and moist ground will give the 
best crops. Sow seed for main crop any time from January to March. Cover the seed 
lightly. Keep the weeds out, especially when plants are young. Use 1 ounce of seed for 
100 feet of row, or 3y 2 pound per acre.
