TURNIP 



For early use, sow the small sorts as soon as the 

 ground can be worked in the spring, in drills four- 

 teen inches apart, the Rutabagas thirty inches. As 

 the seed is very fine, it should be covered but 

 slightly, excepting in very dry weather. Select 

 light, and, if possible, new soil, and manure with 

 plaster and ashes or phosphates. Should the young 

 plants be troubled with insects, a sprinkling of 

 slug shot will be beneficial. For fall and winter use 

 the early kinds should be sown from the middle of 

 July to the middle of August, and the Rutabagas j 

 from the middle of June to first of July, using 

 from one to one and a half pounds of seed to 

 the acre.

Rutabaga, or Swede Turnip.

 Beets for winter feeding.
