Gaile ONION SEEDS 
One ounce will sow 100 feet 
of drill; 3 to 4 pounds per acre. 
CULTURE—The soil should 
be very carefully prepared for 
onions. The richer the soil, the 
better the crop will be. Plenty 
of fertilizer, well spaded in, is 
essential. Sow the seed as early 
as the ground can be worked, 
in rows 15 to 18 inches apart, 
covering !/> inch deep. When 
the seedlings are 3 or 4 inches 
tall, they should be thinned out 
to stand 3 inches apart in the 
row. Keep free from weeds.
