TURNIPS (»ub«n) 



Large Early Red-Top Globe Turnips 



For early, sow as soon as the ground can be prepared, in drills 15 inches apart, and thin the 

 plants to stand 8 inches apart. Sow for succession at intervals of a fortnight, until the last week 

 in July, and from that time onward until the last of August sow for main crop. The sowing should 

 always be made just before a rain, if possible, as the success of the crop depends, in a great measure, 

 upon quick germination and rapid growth of the young plants. An ounce of seed will sow 150 feet 

 of drill; two pounds will sow an acre.
