TURNIP 



A planting of turnips in the home garden will furnish a supply 

 of nourishing greens during the summer months when the spring 

 greens such as spinach and beets are usually exhausted. Turnips 

 serve the double purpose of providing quickly grown greens and 

 later a crop of useful roots. 



For summer use sow early in spring in rows 3^ to 2 feet apart. 

 Plant seed about a half inch deep and press the soil down firmly 

 and smoothly. When the seedlings appear, apply tobacco dust 

 liberally to prevent injury by flea-beetles and root maggots. 

 As soon as the plants are about an inch tall, thinning should be 

 started and carried on as recommended for beets. For fall and 

 winter use the seed may be planted as late as August. 



COW HORN or LONG WHITE Chiefly grown for sbock feed 

 but very good for table use. Tops fairly large, erect, cut- 

 leaved. Roots 12 to 15 inches long, 3 inches thick at
