ONION 
Onion Culture. Raising good onions from seed is not difficult but 
the ground must be rich and in fine condition. Sow the seed as early as 
possible in rows 14 inches apart. Weed as soon as the onions appear and 
keep well cultivated. Fine small green onions will be ready in the 
summer and ripe onions in the fall. 
Asgrow Y41, Hybrid—Top producer in the early class. 
A packet of seed will sow about 25 feet of row; 
an ounce 200 feet. It requires 4 to 6 Ibs. of seed per acre. 
To Raise Early Green Onions. The best way is to plant sets or plants 
early in the spring, but they can also be raised from seed by plant- 
ing Japanese Bunching in June or July and wintering over. 
Dust or Spray Onions with DDT. By controlling onion thrips, you get 
larger, better onions. Apply every two weeks. See DDT on page 82.

These magnificent onions are of globe shape, often weighing a pound or more, with a
