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

 rows. For a succession, continue to sow every two weeks until June; for a fall and winter crop, sow in July and August. 

 Ruta Bagas are grown for feeding stock, and are also excellent for the table. Take up the roots in November, or before 

 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 care- 

 fully with long straw, 

 and finish by earthing 

 up covering them 

 with about 12 or 15 

 inches of earth, leav- 

 ing 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.
