Turnips do best in highly enriched, light, sandy or gravelly soils). Commence sowing the earliest varieties in April in drills from twelve to fifteen inches apart, and 
thin out early to six or nine inches inthe rows. For asuccession sow atintervals 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 crop. 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 frost sets in, for, though comparatively hardy, few of the varieties will 
survive the winters of the Northern States in the open ground.
