Nicholson's Better Onion Seed 
(Cebolla) 
If planiing' for big Onions sow one ounce of seed to 60 to 75 feet 
of drill, or 2¥% to 3 pounds per acre, in rows 12 to 15. inches apart; 
for best results in growing large Onions, after they begin to bowl, 
carefully draw the dirt away from the onion until bowl is covered 
about one-fourth inch, then take your garden hoe and smash the 
tops over on the ground; by doing this the strength all goes to the 
bowl and it develops very rapidly. If planting for green onions, it 
requires one ounce of seed to 25 or 30 feet of drill.
