Onions 
A packet will plant 25 feet of row; 1 ounce 200 feet; 5 to 6 pounds per acre. 
Onions may be grown with sets, plants or seed. Sets are covered with 
an inch of soil. Several weeks are required to produce “green eating” 
onions. Frequent shallow cultivation is suggested. They are mature 
when the tops break over naturally and become dry. A loose but rich

in the row.
