German, Steckkube; French, Navet; Spanish, Nabo Coma2?; Swedish, Rofoa. 

 ONE OUNCE OF SEED FOB 250 FEET OF DRILL. TWO TO THREE POUNDS IN DRILLS FOR AN ACRE 



THIS wholesome and agreeable vegetable is most easily affected in its form and flavor by soil, climate and mode of culture. There are a great 

 many varieties, but l have selected the following as best for the garden or farm. Sow in drills 14 inches apart and i inch deep, or sow broad- 

 cast, but in either case be sure and have ground rich and freshly dug. Be careful to weed and thin out, so the young plants will not be 

 checked and injured. Any overcrowding will result in rough and poorly flavored fruit. For spring and summer crops it is important to get them 

 started very early so they may have time to grow to sufficient size before hot weather, when they soon become tough and strong. For fall and 

 main crop, sow in the Middle and Western states from the middle of July to the last of August, as "directed for spring sowing. In the field, turnips 

 are generally sown broadcast, though larger crops are obtained by drill culture. To preserve turnips in good order for winter use, store them in 

 barrels placed alongside the wall of a cool cellar, and cover them with sand and turf to keep them fresh. Another method is to put them in a cellar 

 or dry pit, cover with straw and earth to the depth of 8 or 10 inches. Thus protected they will keep very well until spring. For feeding stock 

 in fall and winter there is nothing superior to Turnips and Ruta Bagas, and they will yield a larger amount of food than almost anything else on 

 the same space of ground. I cannot too earnestly commend farmers to increase their sowings largely, for no crop will prove more remunerative.
