CULTURE.—Sow in drills or broadcast. The main sowing is usually in July or 
August, as asecond crop. The seeds should be about half an inch under the sur- 
TURNIPS. face of the soil. Thin to4 or5 inches inthe 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 in the row. 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.
