TURNIPS 



(Dtiiben) 



For early, sow as soon as the ground can be prepared, in drills 15 

 inches apart, and thin the plants to stand 8 inches apart. Sow for suc- 

 cession at intervals of a fortnight until the last week in July, and from 

 that time onward until the last of August sow for main crop. The sow- 

 ng should always be made just before a rain; if possible, as the success of the crop 

 pends, in a great measure, upon quick germination and rapid growth of the young 

 plants. An ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill; two pounds will sow an acre.
