Onions need a good soil, enriched with manure or high- 
grade commercial fertilizer. Sow very early % to % in.,deep 
with 18 in. between rows. When about 8 in. high thin care- 
fully to stand 3 in. apart in the rows. 
They may be thinned a second time 
when 8 in. tall, using the removed 
plants as scallions. Onions need much 
moisture and must be kept free of 
weeds especially while the plants are 
still small. 
Continue cultivation all through the 
growing period until the tops start fall- 
ing over. That indicates they have 
reached maturity and are. ready for 
taking up. After curing store in a dry, 
cool, airy place.

extra-large size will reach their maxi- 
mum dimensions if the seed is started 
indoors or under glass some time during 
February or March for transplanting 
to the open in April when the weather 
has become somewhat settled. 
Unlike many other vegetables, onions 
can be grown on the same land several 
years in succession if it is prepared well 
and a generous. quantity of complete 
fertilizer or manure worked into the 
top soil.
