TURNIP 



Navet. A r abn. 9iu6e. 

 One ounce will sow 150 feet of row; 2 pounds is required for one acre. 



Turnips do best in a rich and mellow soil. Commence sowing the early varieties as soon as the ground can be worked in drills 

 from 12 to 18 inches apart and Yi inch deep. When the plants are a few inches in height, and strong enough to resist the attacks of in- 

 sects, thin out to some 5 or 6 inches apart in the drills. Rutabagas should be sown in June, the rows being about 18 inches apart, and 

 the plants in the rows thinned to not less than 10 inches. 



If to be forward by mail, add at the rate of 8c. per pound for postage.
