Culture. For early Turnips, sow as soon as ground 

 is dry enough. Fall Turnips may be sown from the first 

 week in July to the end of September. Rutabagas should 

 be sown in June or early in July, in drills IJ^ feet apart. 

 Turnips should be thinned when large enough, 6 to 9 

 inches apart in the drills, according to size. Sowings 

 should be made before rain if possible. The soil should 

 be rich and well worked. One ounce of seed sows 150
