ONIONS 
CULTURE—A rich loam is best fertilized with well rotted manure and Garden Grow fertilizer. 
Sow seed in February or March if the condition of the ground and the weather will permit. 
Sow with 
drill in rows 14 to 16 inches apart; cover half-inch deep. Hoe with wheel hoe as soon as they are up, but 
do not more than scrape the surface as onions do not stand deep cultivation. Thin them to about 8 plants 
to the foot. It requires 3 to 4 lbs. of seed to the acre. Onions do well year after year on the same ground. 
Seed of the white onions can be planted in the spring, summer or fall for green onions. 
Those 
planted in the fall, about September Ist, will produce green onions to winter over for early spring use.
