TURNIP. 



German, Steckrube. — French, Navet. — Spanish, Nabo Comun. 



Turnips do best on highly-enriched, light, sandy or gravelly soils ; commence sow- 

 ing the earliest varieties in April in drills, from twelve to fifteen inches apart, and thin 

 out early to six or nine inches in the rows. For a succession, sow at intervals of a fort- 

 night, until the last week in July, from which time until the end of August, sowings 

 may be made for the fall and main crops. Turnips may be preserved until spring, by 

 cutting off the tops about one inch from the bulb, and storing in a cellar or cool shed 

 during winter, covering the roots with dry sand; they should be harvested before 

 severe frost sets in, for though comparatively very hardy, few of the varieties will sur- 

 vive the winters of the Northern States in the open ground.
