Purple, or Red-Top Globe Turnips 



TURNIPS puiio 



For early, sow as soon as the ground can be prepared, in drills 15 inches apart, and thin the 

 plants to stand 8 inches apart. Sow for succession at intervals of a fortnight, until the last week 

 in Jul y, and from that time onward until the last of August sow for main crop. The sowing should 

 always be made just before a rain, if possible, as the success of the crop depends, in a great meas- 

 ure, upon quick germination and rapid growth of the young plants. An ounce of seed will sow 150 

 feet of drill; two pounds will sow an acre.
