ONION 
Green Onions from Seed. Easily grown from seed sown in 
fine, well-prepared soil early in the spring. Sow thinly in rows 12 
to 15 inches apart, covering the seed with about 1% inch of soil. 
Onions are ready in about 50 days. An ounce of seed will sow 
about 100 feet of row; 5 to 6 pounds will sow an acre. 
Dry Onions from Seed. If possible sow seed in hotbeds in 
March, thinning the seedlings enough to prevent crowding. Trans- 
plant to the open ground in April or May, spacing them 3 to 
4inches apart, depending on variety. If hotbeds are not available 
sow the seed in the garden as early as the soil can be put in shape. 
Thin promptly. An ounce of seed will sow about 300 feet of row; 
2 to 3 pounds will sow an acre.
