Y2 oz. to 50-foot row; 4 to 5 lbs. to acre. 
Culture—Rich soil with too much irrigation will produce thick necked scallions and often times 
doubles and splits, while the same soil well drained would produce the finest onions. A 
well-fertilized sandy soil is best. 
Onions are hardy and will grow reasonably well in most soils. In Southern California seed 
is planted in September for early spring onions and from November to March for later crops. 
The early varieties mature in about 125 days and the later varieties about 140 days. Seed is 
sometimes sown directly in the field and thinned, however we advise sowing in seed beds 
and transplanting. Under the transplanting method Y¥2 lb. of seed is sufficient to raise plants 
for 1 acre. 
The young plants are ready for transplanting when 6 weeks to 2 months old. Trim the tops 
to the center blade and the roots to % to.1 inch. Double row planting is recommended where 
weeds are few. The rows on the ridges should be spaced 8 to 10 inches apart.
