elect Onions 
CULTURE: As early as possible, sow thinly 
in rows one foot apart, thinning later to 3 or 4 
inches apart. Keep the surface of the ground 
open and free from weeds. When the bulk of 
the tops have turned yellow and have fallen 
over, the onions are ready to harvest. They 
should be pulled at this time and left to lie 
in small piles for a couple of days and then 
removed to an airy shed. A packet of seed will 
plant 25 to 30 feet of drill; one ounce 200 feet, 
and four pounds an acre, See Market Garden.
