In areas with short seasons onion transplants prove valuable and seed should start in flats with well rotted manure and ammoniated phosphate. Use about one quarter ounce of ammoniated phosphate for a 10 by 20 inch flat. Fifty day old transplants are ideal and can be planted outdoors fairly early since they tolerate some frost.
