HE soil for Turnips should be rich and mel- 

 1 1 , low. Sow in drills from 12 to 18 inches 

 apart, and half an inch deep, or sow broad- 

 cast, 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. In this climate we sow from 

 the first of July to September 1. 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.
