Allium Cepa 
Onion seed should be drilled in fertile, well-prepared soil very early in the spring. 
Frost will then help with the weeding. Thinning may be done when large enough to use 
for green onions allowing plants to remain 2 to 4 inches apart to produce large or dry 
onions. Summer seedings may be made to produce fall green onions. 
Our strains of onions are from carefully selected types bred for their specific use to 
give a maximum return to the grower. As suppliers to some of the most critical users in 
America, we have the opportunity of seeing the fine results obtained by them.
