WHY NOT PLANT SEED OF SOME 
SPRING TURNIPS? 
Spring plantings of turnips are important although 
wuicuiv the general crop for winter usually is sown late in 
the summer or fall. Spring sown seed germinates rapidly and tur- 
nips are ready for use very early; being grown under more favor- 
able conditions of temperature than fall crop, they are more tender, 
sweeter and more juicy than those growm in summer and fall. Sow 
thinly in drills in January and March according to locality, cover- 
ing seed lightly. Make best on new ground or ground that has not 
been -cultivated for several years. If stable manure is used it should 
be applied several months before the crop is planted as fresh man- 
ure makes spotted turnips, inferior in quality and with a rank fla- 
vor. For fall or winter use sow rutabagas .July 15 to September 1; 
turnips August 1 to* October 15 in this latitude ; further south they 
can be planted later and in Florida plantings can be continued all 
through the winter. Sow one ounce of seed to 200 feet of row ; 2 to 
3 pounds per acre.
