CULTURE. — The soil for Turnips should l-^c rich and mellow. Sow in drills 12 to 18 inches apart and half an 

 inch deep, or sow broadcast, although much larger crops aie obtained by drill culture. When the plants are a few 

 inches in height, and strong enough to resist the attacks of insects, thin them out to some 5 or 6 inches apart in the 

 drills. In this climate we sow from the first of July to September i. Swede or Ruta Baga Turnips should be sown 

 the first of June, the rows being about 18 inches apart, and the plants in the rows not less than 10 inches. Ruta 

 Bagas are excellent for all kinds of stock, and are relished by all. One ounce of seed will sow 200 feet of row.
