CUIjTURE. This is an important market gar- 

 dener's crop, of easy culture. For spring and 

 summer use, sow either broadcast or in drills, one 

 foot apart and one inch deep, as early as the 

 ground can be worked, and every two weeks for 

 a succession. For winter and early spring use. 

 sow in September, in well-manured ground ; cover 

 with straw on the approach of severe cold 

 weather. The ground cannot be too rich ; the 

 stronger the ground the more delicate and succu- 

 lent will be the leaves.

Spinach that is curled like the old standard sort, 

 the Bloomsdale, Savoy Spinach, yet much more

 der leaves. It is positively the best Spinach to 

 be growi in the spring and summer. Crop failed.

 of the finest quality. It is in prime condition from two weeks to three weeks after other varieties of Spinach have rim to

TURNIPS 



CULTLKt Ot TIKMPS. They do best in highly enriched liK'ht sandy or gravelly soils. Commence sowing the earliest vari- 

 eties It .\pril in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out earlv to 6 or 9 inches in rows. For a succession, sow at Intervals 

 of a fortnight until the la.«t week in July, from which until the end of August sowing may be made for the fall and main crop. 

 Turnips may be preseried until spring by cutting off the tops about one inch from the bulb, storing In the cellar or cold shed

 though comparatively hardy few will survive the winters of the Northern States in the open ground.
