Onion seed should be drilled in fertile, well-prepared soil very early in the spring. 
| Frost will then help with the weeding. Thinning may be done when large enough to use 
_ for green onions allowing plants to remain 2 to 4 inches apart to produce large or dry 
_ onions. Summer seedings may be made to produce fall green onions. 
Our strains of onions are from carefully selected types bred for their specific use to 
| give a maximum return to the grower. As suppliers to some of the most critical users in 
| America, we have the opportunity of seeing the fine results obtained by them.
