SCHULTZ'S SEED STORE, WASHIN GTON , D. C, 



TURNIPS 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 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 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.
