ONION 
For this important crop a clean, rich piece of land should be selected. As early as possible in the spring work the 
soil into a mellow loose condition and fertilize well. Sow in rows 15 inches apart, covering lightly. When plants are 
strong enough to handle thin to 2 inches apart. Cultivate frequently and remove all weeds. Early Onions are pro- 
duced by sowing the seed in hotbeds in February or March and transplanting, also by planting Onion Sets.
