TURNIP.

 drills about 16 inches apart, and thin out to 6 to 9 inches in the rows. For a succession, sow at 

 intervals until the end of August. Turnips may be preserved until Spring by cutting off the 

 tops about 1 inch from the bulb and storing in a cool, dry shed or cellar, and covering with 

 dry sand.
