Culture. — For early turnips, sow as soon as the ground opens 
in the spring. The Milan and Munich should be sown from 
middle of July to end of August. Turnips are generally sown 
broadcast, but much larger crops are obtained (particularly of 
the Rutabaga) by cultivating in drills 18 inches apart and 
Running to 6 inches in the drills. Sow I pound to the acre.
