TURNIP. 



German, Steckrube. — French. Navet. — Spanish, Nabo Gomun. 

 Turnips do best on highly-enriched, light, sandy or gravelly soil ; commence sowing the earli- 

 est varietiea in April, in drills, from twelve to fifteen inches apart, and thin out early to six or 

 nine inches in the rows. For a succession, sow at intervals of a fortnight, until the last week in 

 July, from which time until the end of August, sowings may be made for the fall and main crops. 

 Turnips may be preserved until spring, by cutting off the tops about one inch from the bulb, and 

 storing in a cellar or cool shed during winter, covering the roots with dry sand ; they should be 

 harvested before severe frosts set in, for though comparatively very hardy, few of the varieties 

 will survive the winters of the Northern States in the open ground.
