TURNIP. 



German, Ruebe. — French, Navet. — Spanish, JVabo. 



One ounce will sow one hundred and fifty feet of drill; two pounds for one acre. 



For the spring crop, commence sowing the early varieties as soon as the ground can be 

 worked, in drills fourteen inches apart ; thin out the plants to five or six inches apart. Keep- 

 clear from weeds, and, when the bottoms begin to enlarge, brush away the earth from about the 

 roots to the depth of half an inch or more, and give them a light dressing of wood ashes. This 

 is the surest mode of obtaining fair and smooth spring turnips in old gardens, where they are 

 almost certain to grow wormy if the earth is allowed to remain in contact with the bulbs. It is 

 important to get them started very early, so that they may have time to grow of a sufficient size 

 before very hot weather, when they will soon become tough and strong. For the fall and main 

 crop, sow from the middle of July to the last of August, in drills, as directed for the spring 

 sowing.
