at intervals of three weeks until the middle of June, About the second week in August sow Orange 
Jelly or some other hardy sort, for winter use. During dry hot weather Turnips generally sufler 
from attacks of the turnip.fly. This is to a great degree remedied by sprinkling the leaves with a 
mixture of soot and charcoal, or quick-lime, whilst the dew is on them.
