Onions 
CULTURE: As early as pos- 
sible, sow thinly in rows one foot 
apart, thinning later to 8 or 4 
inches apart. Keep the surface of 
the ground open and free from 
weeds. When the bulk of the tops 
have turned yellow and have fallen 
over, the onions are ready to har- 
vest. They should be pulled at this 
time and Jeft to lie in small piles 
for a couple of days and then re- 
moved to an airy shed. A packet 
of seed will plant 25 to 80 feet 
of drill; one ounce 200 feet, and 
four pounds an acre. See Market 
Gardeners’ Price List opposite 
page 1 for prices on larger 
amounts than quoted, (See page 23 
for maggot control.)
