TURNIP 



Dfiibe Navet A^ado 



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 midd e 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.
