Cultivation. — This most wholesome vegetable is a lover of moisture, 
and to be crisp and juicy (as it should be) must be grown quickly and not 
checked in its growth. Choose good rich soil which has been dug over 
some time previously, and if possible, in a slightly shady position, as during 
the Summer months Turnips become stringy and hard if exposed to the 
hot sun. 
For the first crop sow Daniels’ “ Snowball ” on a very warm border 
early in March, and a succession of varieties onwards until July. Thin 
out the plants when in the seed leaf, leaving the single roots twelve inches 
apart. Give occasional dustings with wood ash and soot in the early 
morning to ward off the deadly Turnip fly. 
For Autumn and Winter use sow in August and September either 
broadcast or in rows Keep the hoe going and all weeds cleared off to 
hasten the growth and ensure crisp tender roots. 
GARDEN SWEDE. 
Sow in July in rows about 15 in. apart, and tbin out to 9 in. apart in the 
row. A valuable crop for Winter use. They are highly nutritive and much 
superior to ordinary Turnips. Per oz. 6d. ; per pint 3s. 6d.

Cultivation. — Salsafy is a vegetable which deserves to be more grown, as it has quite a rich and distinct flavour. Being a deep rooting plant, it 
must kavo well-worked land. The seed should be sown early in May in drills about fifteen inches apart, and the plants thinned out to about nine inches 
in the row. If specimen roots are desired for exhibition, they may bo grown in holes made by a crowbar and filled with fine soil as recommended lor 
Parsnips and Beetroot ; a liberal supply of water should be given in dry weather and the soil kept loose between the rows by hoeing during the summer. 
Salsa fy should be lifted and stored in dry sand in a cellar for Winter use. 
Scorzonera is a vegetable resembling Salsafy, being purple in colour. It requires similar treatment, but is somewhat hardier and requires a little 
more space in the drill.
