TURNIP. {Ruhe.) 



The Turnip is used both as a spring and fall crop. For early Turnips, sow as soon as the ground is 

 dry enough. Fall Turnips may be sown from the first week in July to the end of September. Ruta- 

 bagas should be sown in June or early in July, in drills eighteen inches apart. All the varieties of Tur- 

 nips should be thinned when large enough, six to nine inches apart in the drills, according to size. Sow- 

 ing should be done before rain if possible. The soil should be rich and well worked. One ounce will sow 

 one hundred and fifty feet of drill; two pounds will sow an acre in drills; one pound will sow an acre 

 broadcast.
