Onions 
Zwiebel—Cebolla—Cipolla 
Onion seeds are usually sown as early as it is possible to 
work the ground, in drills one inch deep and twelve to sixteen 
inches apart, in rich soil, deeply tilled and lightly rolled. Thin 
to one inch apart. When sowing for sets, seeds must be put 
in very thick, at the rate of about twenty pounds to the acre. 
The same patch may be used year after year for onions and 
never made too rich.
