ONIONS 
1 oz. will plant a row 100 ft. long; 4 to 6 lbs. 
an acre in 18-in. rows; 40 to 50 lbs. will 
plant an acre for sets. 
CuLturE: Onions require a strong, rich 
and friable soil, heavily fertilized, and thor- 
ough cultivation. The seed may be sown in 
February, March and April, in 18-inch rows 
or on beds 4 feet wide, with the rows 10 inches 
apart, the drills drawn shallow, as the best 
Onions grow on the surface. Sow 4 inch 
deep, pressing the soil over the seed. When 
well up, thin from 4 to 6 inches in the row 
and keep beds well stirred until the young 
Onions are started, after which it is well to 
hand weed. In the latitude of Norfolk a good 
crop can be obtained by sowing in September 
or October as described; seedlings will grow 
until very cold weather and resume growth 
in the spring.
