TURNIP. 



FOR early use, sow the small sorts 

 as soon as the ground can be 

 worked in the spring, in drills 

 fourteen inches apart, the Rutabagas 

 thirty inches. As the seed is very 

 fine, it should be covered but slightly, 

 excepting in very dry weather. Select light, and if possible, new 

 soil, and manure with plaster and ashes, or phosphates. Should 

 the young plants be troubled with insects, a sprinkling of slug shot 

 willbe beneficial. For fall and winter use the early kinds should 

 be sown, from the middle of July to the middle of August ; and 

 the Rutabagas from the middle of June to the first of July, using 

 from one to one and a half pounds of seed to the acre.

RUTA BAGAS 



OR SWEDES. 



THE Swede Turnips, or Rutabagas, grow 

 much larger in size, and are of greater 

 value for stock feeding than ordinary 

 turnips. r Every farmer and stock raiser 

 should grow Rutabagas and Stock Beets for 

 winter feeding.

 a rutabaga. The root is large, both skin

 lent keeper and a desirable sort for market 

 gardeners.

A saving of one to two years is effected 

 by planting roots. A bed 12x40 feet, re- 

 quiring about 100 roots, should give a suffi- 

 cient supply for an ordinary family ; 7,260 

 roots will plant an acre. Select good, loamy 

 soil, plough deep, put in good quantity of 

 manure and 100 pounds kainit to 1,000 

 square feet of bed. Incorporate thoroughly, 

 make a trench 8 inches deep, set plants 9 

 inches apart. In field culture rows are 

 placed 4 feet apart.
