turnips; the seeds should be sown about the first to the middle

shaped root with small neck, yellow flesh, very dark purple

TURNIP 
Ger. — Steckrnebe. Scand. — Ttumlps. 
(One ounce will sow 150 feet of drills; 2 pounds will sow an acre.) 
Culture — For early use, sow as soon as the ground can be 
worked in spring, in drill 15 inches aport. and thin to S inches 
apart as soon as plants are large enough to handle. The sowing 
should be made just before rain, if possible, a rapid growth 
being important. 
For feeding stock in fall and winter there Is nothing superior 
to turnips and rutabagas, as they are much liked by all kin Is 
of stock and serve to keep them in good condition. We cannot 
too earnestly recommend farmers to increase their sowings 
largely for we are sure the crop will prove remunerative.
