TURNIP. 



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 

 tor succession 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 sowings should always be'made just before a 

 rain, if possible, as the success of the crop depends in a great 

 measure upon quick germination and rapid growth in the young 

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

 will sow- an acre.
