CULTURE. They do best in highly enriched, light, sandy or gravelly soils. 

 Commence sowing the earliest varieties in April in drills from 12 to IS inches apaTt, 

 and thin out early to 6 or 9 inches in rows. For a succession sow at intervals of a 

 fortnight until the last week in July, from which 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.

Seeds of Pot, Sweet and Medicinal 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, confectionary, 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.
