Vegetable Seeds 
Letherman’s 
ONIONS 
To Produce Mature Bulbs. Sow the seed in fine, 
rich, well drained soil, just as early as soil can be 
worked, the earlier the eres Sow in rows 12 to 
15 in. apart covering seed about 14 in. deep. 4% oz. 
will sow a 100 ft. row, 4-5 Ibs. per acre. Thin 
plants to stand Q in. apart. 
For Green Onions. Sow seed more thickly and 
pull to eat soon as required size. 
From Plants. The largest bulbs of the Sweet 
Spanish type are produced by setting out early, 
plants shipped in from the south, or you can raise 
plants by starting seed indoors. For big bulbs, space 
the plants 4 in. apart. 
From Sets. The bottom sets may be used for grow- 
ing ‘green’ onions or for big bulbs. To develop big 
bulbs the smaller sets are used, planted about 1 in. 
deep, spaced 3 in. apart. For green onions plant 
2 in. deep and 1 in. apart.
