Onions do best in a rich, sandy soil; sow 
in drills 1 foot apart, as soon as the ground 
can be worked in Spring. Thin to 8 or 4 
inches, using the hoe frequently to keep down 
weeds. The largest Onions are produced by 
sowing the seed in a hotbed in February or 
March and transplanting the seedlings to the 
open ground. The best results are obtained 
from ground prepared the previous Fall.
