soil. Two pounds of seed produce ! 

 enough plants for an acre. It is an 

 excellent crop for cleaning the soil, as 

 the width between the plants and rows 

 enables the hoe to be efficiently used, 

 and during a lengthened period. When 

 blanks occur, these may be filled up 

 from the seed-bed with fresh plants. 

 The produce is from eighteen to twenty 

 tons, and upwards, per acre ; the bulbs 

 maybe kept sound and nutritious until 

 very late in the spring, even much later 

 than the Swedish turnip.
