How to Grow Onions from Seed 
Sow seed as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, in rows 1 to 1}4 ft. apart. 
Cover the seed lightly. The soil best suited to grow onions is one that is reasonably 
fertile, well drained, and well prepared. If fully matured onions are wanted, thin the 
- seedlings when 3 to 4 in. tall, to stand sufficiently far apart to develop without touching 
one another. When the bulbs have reached maturity, bend down the tops to hasten 
ripening before the onions are harvested. Store in a dry, free-from-frost place over 
winter. A pkt. of seed will sow about 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 200 ft. See page 91 for How to 
‘row Onions from Sets; we offer both the white and yellow.
