PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Onions do best in sandy loam which has been fertilized. 
The seed is sown early in the spring in drills. If rows are 
12 to 14 inches apart for hand cultivation it takes 41/2 
pounds of seed per acre and if 24 to 36 inches apart for 
horse cultivation lt /2 pounds to the acre. Onions must be 
cultivated frequently and also hand weeded to keep the 
weeds out.
