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. 
To control onion maggots, dust Chlordane around the base of the 
plants in spring. Later, use DDT for thrips or the new GARDEN DUST 
which helps control blight or “‘blast.’’ See page 82.
