How to Grow Onions 
Sow seed as early in the spring 
as the ground can be worked, in 
rows 1 to 1% ft. apart. Cover the 
seed lightly. The soil best suited 
to grow onions is one that is rea- 
sonably fertile, well drained, and 
well prepared. If fully matured 
onions are wanted, thin the seed- 
lings when 3 to 4 in. tall, to stand 
sufficiently far apart to develop 
without touching one another. 
When the bulbs have reached ma- 
turity, bend down the tops to has- 
ten ripening before the onions are 
harvested. Store in a dry, free- 
from-frost place over winter. A 
pkt. of seed will sow about 20 it.
