ONIONS 
Market Gardeners please ask for quantity prices. 
Onions are very hardy, and the seeds will germinate 
in cool weather. They can be safely planted just as soon 
as the soil can be prepared. Shallow planting is advisable, 
% to % inch being about right. When 2 or 3 inches tall, 
the young plants can be thinned to prevent crowding. 
They may be thinned again when 6 or 8 inches tall, and 
the plants removed can be used as green onions. After 
that, they may be pulled as needed, and those that are 
left to become fully ripe stored for winter. Onions mature 
in about 150 days. One ounce will sow 200 feet of row.
