TURNIP 



3fube Navet Nabo 



For early Turnips, sow as soon as the ground opens in spring. Nos. 1766 to 1776 should be sown from any time in July to first of Au- 

 gust ; but the other kinds, for winter use, may be sown from the middle of July to the end of August. Turnips are generally sown broad- 

 cast, but much larger crops are obtained (particularly of the Rutabagas) by cultivating in drills 18 inches apart, and thinning to 6 inches in 

 the drill. Sow in drills, one pound to the acre; broadcast, two to three pounds to the acre.

 and most per- 

 fectly formed round white Turnip for garden use. Our stock has

 more first prizes than any other, and recent successes prove that it 

 is still unsurpassed for exhibition. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., %Va. $1.
