ONION 
A packet will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 150 feet; 4 to 5 Ibs. per acre. 
CULTURE. Onions require a rich soil and where manure is used it should be plowed under in 
the fall so as to be thoroughly mixed with the ground before the seed is sown. Cultivate the ground 
thoroughly as early in the spring as possible. Sow in rows 14 inches apart, setting the drill so seed 
will be one-half inch deep. Cultivate with wheel hoe as soon as rows can be seen which should be 
followed in a few days with a second hoeing, after which weeding should be carefully done. 
As soon as ripe the bulbs should be gathered into rows and the tops cut off when dry. Do not 
store in large piles. Store in crates allowing air circulation or spread in dry place.
