TURNIPS. 



Cn:LTUBi:. — 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 da3''S.
