Onion Seed 
Onions are very heavy feeders and require rich 
land. Use stable manure liberally and some com- 
mercial fertilizer containing a good portion of Potash. 
Prepare drills thirty inches apart and one inch deep. 
Sow seed thinly and cover with fine soil. Later, thin 
plants to stand from four to six inches apart in the 
row. Cultivate frequently. Seed may be started in 
hotbed or cold frame if desired and seedlings trans- 
planted when large enough to move. When doing this 
the tips of the foliage should be clipped off. Seeding 
may be done in the fall or very early in the spring. 
It is a hardy crop and cold weather will not injure it 
much. 
244—WHITE SWEET SPANISH.—Tlhis is one 
of the finest of the mild white onions. The flesh is 
very crisp, tender with a mild flavor. In the South, 
it can be used for an early spring onion by planting 
in the fall. It is a globe shape with pearly white skin.
