ONIONS 
American-grown Seeds 
Sow I ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 
6 pounds to an acre 
CuttureE. For sets, sow the seed as early 
as possible in the spring, very thickly in drills. 
As soon as the tops dry off in the summer, 
remove them to a dry, airy place, and early 
in the following spring replant by placing 
the sets in shallow drills 1 foot apart and 
about 4 inches apart in the drills. The Onions 
obtained by this process are of large size 
early in the season; also can be grown to full 
size during the first season by sowing thinly 
in drills 1 foot apart and about 14 inch deep 
in March or in early April, in strong land, 
well manured, and thinning them out to 
stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the drills. About 
100 days.

the first season from seed. Almost round,
