This very important vegetable crop requires a rich soil. Seed sowing should 
be done just as early in the Spring as possible. Sow the seed thinly in drills 
at least a foot apart, covering to a depth of not more than 4% inch. Tamp 
down the soil firmly so that it will lie in close contact with seed and thus insure 
better germination. Frequent cultivation is very necessary as well as occasional 
applications of fertilizer. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill, from 
4 to 5 lbs. to an acre. Onions, according to variety, take from 90 to 120 days 
from seed to crop.
