Culture. This is an important market gardener's crop, 

 of easy culture. For spring and summer use, sow either 

 broadcast or in drills, one foot apart and one inch deep, as 

 early as the ground can be worked, and every two weeks for 

 a succession. For winter and early spring use, sow in 

 September, in well-manured ground; cover with straw on 

 the approach of severe cold weather. The ground cannot 

 be too rich; the stronger the ground the more delicate »nd 

 succulent will be the leaves.

Turnips 



Culture of Tumipa. They do best in highly enriched light sandy or gravelly soils. Commence sowing the earliest varieties in April in drills 

 from 12 to 15 inches apart, 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 one 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 comparatiyely hardy few will stin-ive the winters of the Northern States in the open ground.
