Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to mature 

 than ordinary varieties of turnips, but are more solid, of 

 firmer flesh and there:^ore keep later into the spring. They 

 are for this reason more desirable for storage, while 

 turnips are better adapted for the early market. Sow 

 during July either in drills or broadcast.
