ONION SETS 
nions 
Onions are very hardy and 
seed will germinate in cool 
weather, so seed can be 
planted as soon as ground 
can be prepared. Sow in 
rich soil in rows 12 inches 
apart, to a-depth of 1% inch. 
Thin when 2 or 3 inches tall 
to prevent crowding and 
thin further by using as 
needed for green onions. 
Those that are left to become fully ripe 
can be stored over winter.
