ONIONS 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 4 to 6 lbs. for an 
acre in 18-inch rows. 40 to 50 lbs., will plant an acre for sets. 
Culture: Onions require a strong, rich and friable soil, heavily fertilized, and 
cultivation must be thorough. The seed may be sown in February, March and 
April, in 18-inch rows or on beds 4 feet wide, with the rows 10 inches apart, the 
drills drawn shallow, as the best Onions grown on the surface. Sow one-fourth 
inch deep pressing the earth over the seed. When well up, thin from 4 to 6 
inches in the row and keep beds well stirred until the young Onions are started, 
after which it is well to hand weed. In the latitude of Norfolk a good crop 
can be obtained by sowing in September or October as described, as they will 
grow until very cold weather and resume growth in the spring.
