TURNIP. 



German, Sieckriibe. — French, Navet. — Spanish, Nabo Coman. 



One ounce ivill sow 150 feet of drill; 2 pounds for 1 acre. 



For the spring crop, commence sowing the early varieties 

 as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills 14 inches apart ; 

 thin out the plants to 5 or 6 inches apart Keep clear from 

 weeds, and, when the bottom begins to enlarge, brush away the 

 earth from about the roots to the depth of half an inch or 

 more, and give them a light dressing of wood ashes. This is 

 the surest mode of obtaining fair and smooth spring Turnips 

 in old gardens, where they are almost certain to grow wormy 

 if the earth is allowed to remain in contact with the bulbs. It 

 is important to get them started very early, so that they may 

 have time to grow of a sufficient size before very hot weather, 

 when they will soon become tough and strong. For the fall 

 and main crop, sow from the middle of July to the last of 

 August, in drills, as directed for the spring sowing.
