ONIONS 
CULTURE.—Use one ounce seed for 100 feet of row; 
for sets, 50 pounds to the acre. For sets, sow the seeds 
as early as possible in the spring, very thickly, in drills. 
As soon as the tops die off in summer, remove them to a 
dry, airy place, and early in the following spring replant 
them by placing sets in shallow drills 12 inches apart 
and about 4 inches apart in the drills. They may also be 
grown to full size during the first season by sowing thinly 
in drills 1 foot apart and about 14inch deep, in March or 
early in April, manuring them well and thinning them 
out to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the drills. 
Bottle Onion. There is a large demand for this variety 
where it has once been used. They are bottle shaped, 
as the name implies, much longer than globe Onions, 
mild and sweet, grow to a large size, and are equally 
good to eat green or for winter use. The skin is yellow 
and the flesh white. Both the sets and large Onions 
keep well over winter with very little shrinkage.
