BUCKBEE'S EXTRA MARKET AND FAMILY VARIETIES 



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

 ONE OUKOE OS" SEED FOB 250 FEET OF DRILL. TWO TO THKEE POUNDS IN DEILLS FOR AN ACRE. 

 Sow in drills 14 inches apart and ii inch deep, or sow broadcast, but in either case be sure and have ground rich and freshly dug. 

 Be careful to weed and ttun out, so the young plants will not be checked and injured. Any overcrowding will result in rough 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 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 v«ry well until spring.
