Yellow Globe Danvers Onions 
ONION 
Small Onions from Seed. Easily grown from seed sown in 
fine, well-prepared soil early in the spring, the seed covered with 
a little fine soil pressed down firmly above it. When the seedlings 
are 3 to 4 inches high, thin them out to stand about 2 inches apart. 
Large Onions from Seed. If possible sow seed in hotbeds 
early in February, thinning the seedlings enough to prevent 
crowding, and transplanting to the open ground early in May, 
spacing them 4 to 6 inches apart, depending on variety. If hot¬ 
beds are not available, sow the seed in the garden as early as the 
soil can be put in shape. Thin promptly. 
An ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet of row; 
S to 6 pounds will sow an acre

mulching with leaves or straw.
