CULTURE.—Sow in Grills or broadcast. The main sowing is usually in July or August, a8 asecond crop. The seeds should | | 
® be about half an inch under the surface of the soil. Thin to4orb5 inches in the row. Well cultivated crops in drills will be"! 
far larger than broadcasted crops. Ruta Bagas or Swedish turnips or Swedes should be planted a month earlier than common turnips, and | 
thinned to 6 or 8 inches intherow. Store in heaps covered first with straw and then with earth in the open field during winter. Use 2 pounds || 
of seed to acre in drills or 244 pounds broadcast. i
