German, Steckrube; French. Navet; Spanish, Nabo Coman; Swedish, Rofoa. 



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



Sow in drills 14 inches apart and !£ inch deep, or sow broadcast, but in either case be sure and have ground rich and fresh 1 ;? dug. 

 Be careful to weed and thin out, so the young plants will not be checked and injured. Any overcrowding will result in rou^Si and 

 poorly flavored fruit. In the field, turnips are generally sown broadcast, though larger crops are obtained by drill culture. To pre- 

 serve turnips in good order for winter use. store them in barrels placed alongside the wall of a cool cellar, and cover them with sanr* 

 and turLto 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 

 10 inches. Thus protected they will keep very well until spring.
