CULTURE: Plant onion seed just as early as 
you can work the ground in the spring. Make 
a good firm seed bed and plant the seed % inch 
deep, the rows about 16 inches apart. Culti¬ 
vate shallow and often. Get the weeds while 
they are small. SOW 1 OUNCE OF SEED FOR 
200 FEET OF ROW; 4 POUNDS PER ACRE. 
You cannot plant a crop on your farm that will produce more 
dollars per acre than an acre of onions. Yields will run from 300 to 
1000 bushels per acre depending on the season and care. Onions sell 
from 50c to $1.50 per bushel. 
Figure the cost of production as high as you please and still 
you could not come within a mile of the gross profit with any 
other crop.

early because light freezes will 
not harm them.

white fleshed, sweet and tender. A crate of 6000 plants should 
produce from 50 to 75 bushels of immense sweet onions.

sets for early green onions, and 
many prefer to grow their large 
onions from sets instead of from 
seed, as they can market them

high.
