ONIONS 
To Produce Mature Bulbs. Sow the seed in fine, 
rich, well drained soil, just as early as soil can be 
worked, the earlier the better. Sow in rows 12 to 
15 in. apart covering seed about % in. deep. 
Y, oz. will sow a 100 ft. row, 4-5 lbs. per acre. 
Thin plants to stand 2 in. apart. Give frequent 
shallow cultivation. Harvest the crop when tops 
break down. 
For Green Onions. Sow seed more thickly and 
pull to eat soon as required size. The bunching type 
onion like Nebuka does not produce bulbs but are 
for green onions only. 
From Plants. The largest bulbs of the Sweet 
Spanish type are produced by setting out early, 
plants shipped in from the south, or you can raise 
plants by starting seed indoors. For big bulbs space 
the plants 4 in apart. 
From Sets. The bottom sets may be used for grow- 
ing green’ onions or for big bulbs. To develop big 
bulbs the smaller sets are used, planted about 1 in. 
deep, spaced 3 in. apart. For green onions plant 
Q in. deep and 1 in. apart.
