How to Grow ONIONS FROM SEED 
Sow seed as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, 
in rows 1 to 1% ft. apart. Cover the seed lightly. The soil best 
suited to grow onions is one that is reasonably fertile, well 
drained, and well prepared. If fully matured onions are wanted, 
thin the seedlings when 3 to 4 in. tall; to stand sufficiently far 
apart to develop without touching one another. When the bulbs 
have reached maturity, bend down the tops to hasten ripening 
before the onions are harvested. Store in a dry, free-from-frost 
place over winter. A pkt. of seed will sow about 20 ft. of row; 
1 oz. 200 ft. See page 89 for How to Grow Onions from Sets; we 
offer both the white and yellow.
