Choice Onion Seed 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One ounce to 100 feet of drill; about four pounds to the acre. Onions for the 
market are generally grown on muck land in Michigan, but may be grown for home use on any rich, loamy soil. 
They appreciate plenty of fertilizer on muck; the market growers apply heavily about a 2-8-16 fertilizer. 
Drill in rows about a foot apart.
