TURNIP. 



German, Steckrube. — French, Navet. — Spanish, Naho Coman. 



One ounce will 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 Tur- 



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

 wormy if tlie 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.
