ONION 
Culture—Onions are grown from seeds and 
also from sets. To grow onions from seed, 
sow in February, March or April, rather thick- 
ly, % inch deep in rows 18 inches apart, and 
later thin the plants to from 3 to 5 inches 
apart, and keep well cultivated. When grown 
this way 1 ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of 
tow; 6 pounds to the acre. If sets for planting 
the following spring are desired, sow the seed 
in March or April in wide rows. 20 to 40 
pounds to the acre. When the tops die in 
the summer, remove and store the small sets, 
spreading them thinly in a dry place until 
ready for resetting, using the larger size for 
eating or pickling purposes. But the most 
satisfactory way for the small home gardener 
to grow early green onions is from sets. These 
may be put out in the spring, in March or 
April, or in the fall, in September and Octo- 
ber, 3 inches apart in rows 1 foot or more 
apart. One pound of sets will plant about 
75 feet of row. 
EARLY WHITE PEARL—Earliest of the 
white onions, grows to a nice size, very 
attractive in appearance, being a beau- 
tiful, clean, waxy white, symmetrical in 
shape, rather flattened, flesh of pure 
snowy whiteness. Very tender, mild and 
sweet. They do not keep very long and 
should not be held very long after ma- 
turing. The seed are sown in the spring. 
The sets are put out in the fall, which 
make large onions early the following 
spring, long before any other kinds are 
ready.
