TURNIP. 



German, Steckrube. — French, Navet. — Spanish, Nabo comun. 



Turnips do best on highly-enriched, light, sandy or gravelly soils; commence sowing 

 the earliest varieties in April in drills, from twelve to fifteen inches apart, and thin out 

 early to six or nine inches in the rows. For a succession, sow at intervals of a fortnight, 

 until the last week in July, from which time until the end of August, sowings may be 

 made for the Fall and main crops. Turnips may be preserved until Spring, by cutting 

 off the tops about one inch from the bulb, and storing in a cellar or cool shed during 

 Winter, covering the roots with dry sand ; they should be harvested before severe frost 

 sets in, for, though comparatively very hardy, few of the varieties will survive the 

 Winters of the Northern States in the open ground.
