October to April 
Sow seed in rich soil, in rows 12 to 15 inches apart and cover seed lightly. 
When 4 to 5 inches high, plants should be thinned to 3 to 4 inches in the row. 
Onion seed may also be cultivated in seed-beds and later transplanted to the 
field. Shallow cultivation should be practiced every week or 10 days. Pull onions 
out (unless used for tender green onions) when the tops in the field have toppled 
over and dried considercbly. Allow them to dry on the ground and then place 
in shallow racks with slat bottoms which will permit the free circulation of air. 
When fully dried, tops may be wrung off and onions graded. 100 to 400 bushels 
per acre is normal yield. One ounce plants 200 feet of row; 3 to 4 pounds cn 
acre.

and all danger of frost is over, they may be transplanted to the open ground in
