Onion Seeds

(Allium cepa) An ancient Old World crop: records exist of how many onions were allocated to the laborers building the pyramids, and they were a basic ration to Greek citizen soldiers. Long-day onions tend to do best in the north, and short-day types do best in the south; the dividing line is at about the 35th parallel.
