Vz oz. to 50-foot row; 4 to 5 lbs. to acre. 
C nltiirp Onions are subject to variations by cultivation and soil 
VrfUllUre conditions. Rich soil with too much irrigation will pro¬ 
duce thick necked scallions and oftentimes doubles and splits, while 
the same soil well drained would produce the finest onions. A well- 
fertilized sandy soil is best. 
Onions are hardy and will grow reasonably well in most soils. In 
Southern California seed is planted in September for early spring 
onions and from November to March for later crops. The early varie¬ 
ties mature in about 125 days and the later varieties about 140 days. 
Seed is sometimes sown directly in the field and thinned, however 
we advise sowing in seed beds and transplanting. This allows for bet¬ 
ter selection of plants and crops mature more evenly. Under the trans¬ 
planting method Vz lb. of seed is sufficient to raise plants for 1 acre. 
The young plants are ready for transplanting when 6 weeks to 2 
months old. Trim the tops to the center blade and the roots to V 2 
to 1 inch. Double row planting is recommended where weeds are few. 
The rows on the ridges should be spaced 8 to 10 inches apart. Always 
irrigate to avoid flooding, which would cause the onions to rot.
