PLANT TURNIPS —- GOOD TURNIPS 
CULTURBE.—Turnips are easily grown, requiring deep, mellow, rich soil. They should 
be sown while the soil is moist, as the greatest part of success of this crop depends 
on the strength of an early and quick growth. Our market gardeners start growing 
Turnips from July and continue until November for Fall crop, and from January until 
April for Spring and Summer use. Turnips are mostly sown broadcast, but if proper 
thinning out is omitted it causes poorly shaped specimens. If drilled in they should 
be thinned out to 6 inches, and rows 16 inches apart. As the plants grow the soil should 
be drawn to them. Broadcast sowing requires 2 pounds per acre. Drill sowing takes half 
that amount-of seed. Matures in 60 to 80 days.
