DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS. 



TURNIP. 



Sleckrube, Ger. Navel, Fk. Nabo Comun, 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. For a successsion, continue to sow every two weeks until June ; for a fall and winter crop, sow in July and 

 August. The Ruta Bagas are grown for feeding stock, and are also excellent for the table. Take up the roots in 

 November 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 oil' the water. Put away in this 

 manner they will be found in good condition in the spring.
