Ground intended for Swedes should be fairly, but not too liberally manured, and the soil should always be well-broken 
up and brought into fine tilth before sowing. Ridge cultivation is most in favour in the Eastern Counties, the ridges being 
about two feet apart, and the plants thinned out to about a foot apart in the row. Clean cultivation is highly essential 
in the production of good crops, the frequent stirring of the surface by the hoe being of great benefit to the growing crop. 
The latter part of May or early in June may generally be reckoned about the time for sowing, and the seed should be 
drilled at the rate of 3 or 4 lbs. per acre. Swedes are of a much higher nutritive quality than White Turnips, and although 
hardy enough in the general way to stand the Winter, they are much better when stored before being injured by frost.
