CULTURE. They do best In highly 

 enriched, light, sandy or gravelly soils. 

 Commence sowing the earliest varie- 

 ties in April In drills from 12 to 15 

 inches apart, and thin out early to 

 6 or 9 inches in rows. For a succes- 

 sion sow at intervals of a fortnight 

 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 before 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.
