ONIONS “=: 
This very important vegetable crop requires a rich soil. Seed sowing should be 
done just as early in the Spring as possible. Sow the seed thinly in drills at least a foot 
apart, covering to a depth of not more than 44 inch. Tamp down the soil firmly so 
that it will lie in close contact with seed and thus insure better germination. Frequent 
cultivation is very necessary as well as occasional applications of fertilizer. One ounce 
of seed wil) sow 100 feet of drill, from 4 to 5 lbs. to an acre. Onions, according to 
variety, take from 90 to 120 days from seed to crop.
