 is usually sown for early summer use, quite early in the Spring, and

 Robertson's Golden Ball is of recent introduction, and is highly recom- 

 mended for culinary purposes. So is also the Teltow^ the favorite variety 

 in Germany. The Globe, JVorfolk and Euta Baga are principally used 

 for feeding stock. Sow in July, in drills two feet apart, and thin out to 

 stand six inches apart. Keeping the ground well stirred and clear of 

 weeds. As Turnips are grown principally for consumption during the 

 winter and early spring, a few brief hints for their preservation is ne- 

 cessary, Take up the roots in November, cut off the tops within an 

 inch of the crown. Those for winter use can be stored away in a cool 

 cellar or pit, and covered over with a few inches of dry earth. For 

 early spring use, pile, up in conical form, out of doors, cover carefully 

 with long straw, and finish by earthing up, covering them with about 

 12 or 15 inches of earth; leave a vent or air-hole, by placing a bunch 

 of straw in the top. Put away in this manner, they will be found in 

 good condition in the spring.
