ONIONS. There are two types of onions that 
are most commonly grown by home gardeners 
—the young green or bunching onions and the 
mature bulb or dry onion. Green, or bunching 
onions may be produced from seed, sets or mul- 
tiplier bulbs, The set method is generally used 
among home gardeners for the earliest green 
onions. However, the seed method produces a 
much better quality of onion and is the com- 
mon method among the market gardener trade. 
Onions require a rich, well-drained soil, but 
any good garden soil will be satisfactory so 
long as it is not too stony. To be sure that the 
soil is rich enough, use a pound of well-rotted 
manure to each square foot, and in addition 
use four or five pounds of commercial fertilizer 
to each 100 square feet. 
The soil must be moist, as the plants will not 
thrive in dry sites. Onions are grown success- 
fully in nearly all but the desert states, but 
they thrive best in the comparatively cool sites.
