.Onion seeds are usually sown as early as it is possible to 
work the ground, in drills one inch deep and twelve to six- 
teen inches apart, in rich soil, deeply tilled and lightly rolled. 
Thin to one inch apart. When sowing for sets, seed must 
be put in very thick, at the rate of about twenty pounds 
to the acre. The same patch may be used year after year 
for onions and never made too rich.

shaped, has small neck, ripens up uniformly and is a good
