Quality Onion Seed 
(Cebolla) 
If planting for big Onions sow one ounce 
of seed to 60 to 75 feet or drill, or 2! to 3 
pounds per acre, in rows 12 to 15 inches 
apart; for best results in growing large On- 
ions, after they begin to bowl, carefully draw 
the dirt away from the onion until bowl is 
covered about one-fourth inch, then take 
your garden hoe and smash the tops over 
on the ground; by doing this the strength all 
goes to the bowl and it developes very rap- 
idly. If planning for green onions, it requires 
one ounce of seed to 25 or 30 feet of drill.
