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 kept cool 

 and sufficiently moist to prevent withering, they will remain in 

 prime condition all winter.

 ing, owing to the selected small top and short neck, globe
