DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS 



TURNIP. 



Steckriibe, Ger. Navet, Fr. Nabo Coniun, Sp. 



For early use, sow as soon as the ground opens in spring, in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart ; thin out to 6 or 9 inches in the 

 rows; as soon as the first leaves appear, sprinkle with soot, wood-ashes, air-slaked lime, or Slug Shot, to destroy the little black 

 fly, which will devour the plants if not attended to in time. Slug Shot is a certain remedy for the black fly. For a succession, 

 continue to sow every two weeks until June; for a fall and winter crop, sow in July and August; do not sow later than the 1st 

 of September. The Ruta Bagas are grown for feeding stock, and are also excellent for the table. Take up the roots in Novem- 

 Der or before severe frosts; cut off the tops within an inch of the crown, store in a cool cellar or pit, or pile up in a conical form, 

 out of doors, in dry ground; cover carefully with long straw, and finish by earthing up, covering them with about 12 or 15 inches 

 of earth, leaving a trench around the heap to carry off the water. Put away in this manner they will be found in good condition 

 in the spring.
