TURNIPS oRube) 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of driU; one pound will sow an acre. 



_ Culture. — The soil for Turnips should be rich and mellow. For early use sow as soon as ground opens in 

 Spring in drills 12 to 18 inches apart and 3^ inch deep, or sow broadcast, although much larger crops are 

 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. For succession continue to sow every two weeks 

 until June; for Fall and Winter crop sow from the first of July to September 10th. ,
