TURNIPS 
While turnips are a favorite fall and winter vegetable, they may also be had in spring by proper sowings. They are of easy culture, but need 
well-worked, rich soil to insure a quick, uninterrupted growth, when they will be tender and free from woodiness. 
For fall and winter use sow the seed in August, using one ounce to 250 feet of row, thinning the plants when very young to three or four 
inches apart. For spring use sow in January. 
For field culture sow in rows about two feet apart, using one to three pounds of seed per acre.
