TURNIP. 
Navet. Naho. dtiiht. 
CuLTUEE. — For early Turnips sow as soon as ground opens in spring. Nos. 1706 to 1774 should be sown from 
any time in July to first of August; but the other kinds, for winter use, may be sown from middle of July to end 
of August. Turnips are generally sown broadcast, but much larger crops 
are obtained (particularly of the Ruta-Bagas) by cultivating in drills 18 
inches apart, and thinning to G inches in the drill. Sow in drills, one pound 
to the acre; broadcast, two to three pounds to the acre.
