TURNIPS 



(3iuben) 



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 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 of the young 

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