TURNIPS. 
The best soil for turnips is a rather light sand. On such soil 
thev grow smoother and are not apt to be wormy. For an early 
crop, sow the flat varieties in the spring as soon as the ground 
can be worked, in drills 12 to 15 inches apart. When the plants 
are a few inches high, thin to five or six inches apart. For the 
late crop, sow the round, yellow turnips, not later than the 25th 
of J uly, while the quicker-growing sorts like the Purple Tops, 
can be sown as late as the middle of August. They may be 
■sown either in drills or broadcast. The yellow turnips keep well 
through the winter, and sell readily through the winter for table 
use. The Swede or Ruta Baga turnips, grown mainly for feed- 
ing, though used extensively for family use in the spring, should 
be sown from the 25th of June to the lOth of July, in drills not 
less than 18 inches apart, and thinned to 12 inches in the rows.
