Onion Ringmaster
Allium cepa

Days to maturity: 105. An improved variety of White Sweet Spanish, Ringmaster has larger bulbs with firm white rings surrounding a single center. The sweet and mild flavor is perfect for cooking and of course, making delicious deep-fried onion rings. Bulbs keep in storage for up to 5 months. Resistant to pink root disease.

This packet plants three 10 foot rows.

Days to Emerge: 10 - 15

Seed Depth: 1/4"

Seed Spacing: 2 seeds every 4"

Row Spacing: 12" - 18"

Thinning: When 2" tall, thin to 1 every 4"

When to sow outside: 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as the soil can be worked. Note: Unseasonable cold weather later in the growing season may cause some of the onions to bolt early.

When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 8 to 12 weeks before average last frost. The earlier the start, the bigger/earlier the bulb is produced. Transplant outdoors when 2" - 4" tall.

Harvesting: When some of the onion tops have fallen over, knock the rest over. In a week or two when most of the foliage has dried and turned brown, dig up the onions with a garden fork. Pull up the onions and dry them in the garden in the sun for a few days. After drying, remove the roots and greens, but leave about 1" of the neck to seal and prevent entrance of decay organisms.
