ONIONS 
Easy to Grow... 
Good to Eat.. 
Fine Keepers 
Planting Instructions onions can 
be grown from seed, plants or sets. Sow- 
ing seed gives a wider choice of varieties, 
is more economical and some believe that 
onions grown from seed are sweeter. 
Onions do best in sandy loam which has 
been fertilized. Sow seed early in the 
spring in drills. 
If rows are 12 to 14 inches apart for 
hand cultivation, it takes 4% pounds to 
the acre, if 24 to 36 inches apart for horse 
or tractor cultivation, only 1% to 2 pounds 
are required per acre. 
Frequent cultivation and hand weeding are both 
necessary because Onions must be kept clean. 
For the small garden we recommend Onion Sets or 
Onion Plants. Mature onions from Onion Sets are the 
better keepers. Plant either sets or plants in rows about 
14 inches apart and about 2 inches apart in the row. 
Pull alternate plants for green onions, leaving the others 
to grow to mature onions.
