SUGGESTIONS 
May be broadcast. Sow in rows for easy weeding. 
May be broadcast. Sow in rows for easy weeding. 
Sow seed after ground has become warm. Does not 
require rich soil. As a rule, aphis is only pest. 
Plants (slips) make large onions for storing. Pull out 
every other one for young green onions, leaving 
ample room for others to mature. Do not let soil cake. 
Seed planted in January or February will make green 
onions, or if left to mature, will make large onions 
about July 1. For fall sets, plant seed thick in flats 
March 15 to April 15. 
Make green onions only when planted in early spring. 
Sow seed very early in spring for best results. Soak 
seed overnight for better stand. 
Sow as early as possible. Thin out. Keep moist. 
Dwarf: Plant in double rows about 10 or 12 inches 
apart. Sow twice as thick as snap beans. Interlacing 
of plants eliminates staking. Pole: Provide brush or 
poles for support. Inoculate with Nitragin. 
Begin planting April 1. Fine for replacing all extra 
early crops such as English peas. 
Set out April 1. Do not plant sweet and hot peppers 
nearer than 20 feet of each other for fear of mixing. 
Be sure ground is warm before transplanting. 
Begin to plant February 15. For black soil, use Irish 
Cobbler. In light or loose, mixed soil, plant Red 
Triumph. Cut two eyes to the piece, making each 
piece about size of a hen egg 
Plant in raised beds or ridges. 
Can be planted in hills among corn rows. Plant 6 or 
8 seed to a hill. Thin to 2 or 8 plants. 
Sow every 2 weeks for continuous crop. 
Set crown at surface of ground. Make lath shade 
against summer heat. Do not pull stalks first year. 
Likes rich, light, deeply spaded soil. 
Soak overnight to increase stand. Be sure soil is 
thoroughly moist when planting soaked seed. 
Plant in hills. Thin to 2 or 3 plants. Well rotted 
manure in each hill is good. Do not plant near cu- 
cumbers. 
Soak overnight to increase stand. Thin when plants 
are about 3 or 4 inches high. Keep large outside 
leaves cut. Use tops as spinach and stalks same as 
cooked celery. 
Plants set in black soil often drop blooms. Treat with 
20% Super Phosphate. Select tomato patch when 
ground is prepared in January or February. Every 
214 feet work in 2 heaping tablespoons. Mark with 
stakes. When setting plants in April, work in 1 table- 
spoon. When bloom begins, give final treatment of 1 
tablespoon in circular trench 6 inches from stalk. 
Water fertilizer in well each time used. (If first two 
treatments are missed, third will still help.) Vine 
type are best in black soil. Dwarf or vine types are 
good for sand. 

May be broadcast. Sow in rows for better weeding. 

Plant in hills. Thin to 2 or 8 plants. In black soil 
add manure and sand to each hill.
