DREER'S CHOICE ONION SEED Ugnon, Fr. Ccbolla, SP. , GeR. One ounce of Onion seed for 200 feet of drill, 4 to 5 pounds for an acre 33 Culture.—For early green or bunching Onions, sow seed of Silver Skin or other hardy white varieties in early August in well prepared and well drained rich, loamy soil, giving 1 foot space between the rows, and using 20 pounds of seed per acre. In many lociilities they winter well without mulch or other protection. For dry (fall) bulbs, select a clean, rich, well drained and well manured piece of land, prepare a perfect seed bed, and sow seed in early spring in drills 15 inches or so apart, using 4 to 5 pounds of fresh seed per acre. Use wheel-hoe and weeders freely and thin plants to stand at least 2 inches apart in the rows. Pull when tops begin to die down, cure and sell, or store in a cool, dry place. For sets, select a clean sandy soil of medium fertility, prepare it well in early spring, and at once sow seed in drills a foot apart, using 40 to 60 pounds of seed per acre. Gather the sets when ripe, cure and store in a dry, airy place. They may be wintered in a slightly frozen condition, but must be protected from repeated freezing and thawing. In early spring following plant them in shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and about 2 inches apart in the drill. By sowing seed of the Spanish type, such as Prizetaker and Southport Globes, under glass in January, February or March, and transplanting in April to open ground 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows, bulbs of immense size may be produced.
