ONIONS 
Onions are very hardy, and the seeds will germinate in 
cool weather. They can be safely planted just as soon as the 
soil can be prepared. Shallow planting is advisable, % to Yl 
inch being about right. When 2 or 3 inches tall, the young 
plants can be thinned to prevent crowding. They may be 
thinned again when 6 or 8 inches tall, and the plants re' 
moved can be used as green onions. After that, they may be 
pulled as needed, and those that are left to become fully 
ripe stored for winter. Onions mature in about 150 days. One 
ounce will sow 200 feet of row.
