TURNIP 



OR early use, sow the small sorts 

 as soon as the ground can be 

 worked in the spring, in drills 14 

 inches apartj the Rutabagas 30 

 inches. As the seed is very fine, it 

 should be covered but slightly, ex- 

 cepting 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 will 

 be 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.

 ter feeding.

 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, requiilng about 100 roots, 

 should give a sufficient supply for an 

 ordinary family; 72G0 roots will plant 

 an acre. Select good, loamy soil, plow 

 deep, put in good quantity of manure 

 and 100 pounds of kainit to 1000 

 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.
