State Nursery and Seed Co. 
TURNIP 
Ger. — Steckniebe. 
Scand. — Tui-nips. 
(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 apart, and thin to 8 
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 kinds of stock and serve to keep them In good con- 
dition. We cannot too earnestly recommend farmers to 
increase their sowings largely for we are sure the crop 
will prove remunerative.
