Onions 
A packet will plant 25 feet of row; 1 ounce 200 feet: 5 to 6 pounds per acre. 
Onions may be grown with sets, plants or seed. Sets are covered with 
an inch of soil. Several weeks are required to produce “green eating” 
onions. Frequent shallow cultivation is suggested. They are mature 
when the tops break over naturally and become dry. A loose but rich 
fine soil will usually produce the best green onions and mature bulbs 
from seed. Don’t neglect to thin the plants to stand 3 or 4 inches apart 
n the row.
