TURNIP. 



Navet, 



Nabo. 



Culture. — For early Turnips sow as soon as ground opens in spring. Nos. 1767 to 1774 should be sown 

 from any time in July to first of August ; but the other kinds, for winter use, may be sown from middle of July 

 to end of August. Turnips are generally sown broadcast, but much larger crops are obtained (particularly of 

 the Ruta-Bagas) by cultivating in drills eighteen inches apart, and thinning to six inches in the drill. Sow in 

 drills one pound to the acre ; broadcast, 2 to 3 pounds to the acre.
