ONIONS 
Culture —The onion is supposed to have originated somewhere in Central Asia in prehistori c 
times. It was well known to the Egyptians as a vegetable and was used extensively also 
by the Israelites both in Egypt and Palestine. Being about 95 per cent water and 5 per cent solids, 
it naturally depends upon ample moisture for proper growth. A light, loamy, moist soil is therefore 
desirable for best results. Seed should be sown as early in spring as the ground will permit, in 
drills 14 inches apart and 34 inch deep. Constant weeding from the start must be carried on 
for a full crop. An ounce to 100 feet of drill. Five pounds to the acre.
