1 foot between the rows, but do not cover the sets entirely, except 
Potato Onions, which should be planted in rows 2 feet apart and 
10 inches apart in the row, and covered about one inch. Plant 
as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared and they 
will be ready for the table several weeks earlier than onions grown 
from seeds. All varieties can be set out in the fall as well as in 
spring. 5 to 8 bushels plant an acre.

r send up as few seed stalks. It makes

is white, firm and
