OTHER VARIETIES. 
TURNIPS FOR SPRING PLANTING. 
Culture — Spring plantings of turnip are important, although the main or general crop for late fall and 
winter is sown in late summer and fall. Seed sown as early in spring as ground can be worked germinates 
freely and the young, tender turnips are ready for use quickly. Spring-grown turnips, being grown under mor.-; 
favorable conditions of temperature than the fall crop, are more tender, sweet and juicy than those grown in 
summer and fall. Sow seed thinly in drills and when well up thin out gradually, using the leaves for greens. 
Turnips do best on new ground. Never use fresh manure on this crop, as it makes spotted turnips, of rank and 
inferior flavor. For fall use, sow rutabaga from July loth to September 1st; turnips from August 1st to 
October 15th.
