RUTABAGA or SWEDE 



Rutabagas require a longer growing season than turnips and need 

 more moisture. Seed may be sown from mid-June to mid-July in rows 

 23^ to 3 feet apart. The culture is practically the same as for turnips 

 except that the plants should be thinned to 8 or 10 inches apart in the 

 rows. When the roots are full grown, they should be pulled, topped, 

 and stored in a cool cellar or pit for winter use. If cool and suffi- 

 ciently moist to prevent withering, they will keep well all winter.
