Nicholson's Better Onion Seed 
(Cebolla; 
It planting for big Onions sow one ounce of seed 
to 60 to 75 feet or drill, or 2% to 3 pounds per 
acre, in rows 12 to 15 inches apart; for best results 
in growing large Onions, after they begin to bowl, 
carefully draw the dirt away from the onion until 
bowl is covered about one-fourth inch, then take 
‘your garden hoe and smash the tops over on the 
ground; by doing this the strength all goes to the 
bowl and it develops very rapidly. If planting for 
green onions, it requires one ounce of seed to 25 
or 30 feet of drill.
