Culture. Planting's may be made from early September 
until March. Sow in rich soil, in rows 12 to 15 inches 
apart, and cover seed lightly. When 4 to 5 inches high, 
plants should be thinned to 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. 
Seed also can be sown in seed-beds and later transplanted 
to the field. Shallow cultivation should be practiced every 
week or 10 days. 
Onions should be pulled when the tops in the field have 
fallen over and dried considerably. Allow them to dry on 
the ground and then place in shallow racks with slat bot¬ 
toms which permit free circulation of air. When fully dried 
the tops may be wrung off and the Onions graded. Normal 
yields between 100 and 400 bushels per acre. One ounce 
plants 200 feet of row; 3 to 4 pounds, an acre.
