TURNIPS 



CUXiTTJKE. They do best in high- 

 ly enriched, light, sandy or gravelly 

 soils Commence sowing the earliest 

 varieties in April in drills from 12 

 to 15 inches apart, and thin out early 

 to 6 or 9 inches in rows. For a suc- 

 cession sow at intervals of a fort- 

 night until the last week in July, 

 from then until the end of August 

 sowing may be made for the fall and 

 main crop. Turnips may be preserved 

 until spring by cutting off the tops 

 about 1 inch from the bulb, storing 

 in the cellar or cold shed during the 

 winter, covering the roots with dry 

 sand. They should be harvested be- 

 fore the severe frost sets in, for. 

 though comparatively hardy, few will 

 survive the winters of the Northern 

 States in the open ground.

HERBS 



All gardens should have some space devoted to the more 

 important Pot Herbs. A few varieties are grown solely for 

 the seed produced, which is used for flavoring cakes, bread, 

 confectionery, etc. The young stems and leaves of the 

 plants used for flavoring may be gathered in the green state, 

 or in the fall the entire plant may be pulled up and carefully 

 placed in a dry room, and thus assure a winter's supply.
