TURNIPS* 53^ 



Common turnip ; and it buries itself in thq ground more 

 than any otJier, but the size inferior. It afterwards proved 

 good for nothing. 



Mr. Coke, of Holkliam, has 30 acres this year — has 

 cultivated them several years, with the greatest success, 

 and esteems them as a very valuable acquisition. 



Mr. Bevan sowed them in 1792, ac the same time 

 with common turnips, and the crop was so inconsiderable, 

 as to prove the time quite improper. 1802. — He has 

 sowed this plant since repeatedly, and at the right season 

 in May and June ; but the fly has always eaten it, so that 

 he has never had a crop. 



Mr. FovvEL, of Snetterton, has sowed Swedish tur-» 

 nips for seven years successively, but has never had a 

 crop : the fly ate all. 



Mr. M. Hill, this year (1802) sowed Swedish turnips 

 twice, and both sowings were taken ofl^by the fly. 



Now (1803) sowing Swedes and tankard turnip toge- 

 ther, to draw the latter for autumn use. 



Mr. Syble, of South Walsham, had last year a crop 

 of these roots, which came to a good size; as heavy near- 

 ly as common turnips, but they were so hard that no stock 

 which he tried liked thein. They were white fleshed. 

 Swedes, in East Norfolk, in the opinion of Mr. Pal- 

 GRAVE, rather coming in: Mr. Bartlet Gurney 

 has them at North Reps, and a few at Coltishal. 



Air. BiRCHAM, ofHackford, has tried them, but did 

 not succeed ; he believes they were not sown early enough. 



I saw a piece on the farm of Mr. Reeve, of Wigh- 

 ton. 



Mr. H. Blythe, of Burnham, had a field of them 

 last year, and found them of great use in the spring : this 

 year he has ten acres.
