TURNIP 



For early use, sow the small sorts as soon as the ground can be worked 

 in the spring, in drills 14 inches apart, the Rutabagas 30 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 in- 

 sects, 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 from the middle of June to the first of July, 

 using from one to one and a half pounds of seed to the acre.
