Why Not Plant Seed of 
Some Spring Turnips ? 
Spring plantings of turnips are important, although the 
main or general crop for winter use is sown in late sum¬ 
mer and fall. The seed sown in early spring germinate rapidly and arc 
ready for use very early. Spring grown turnips, being grown under more 
favorable conditions of temperature than the fall crop, are more tender, 
sweet and juicy than those grown in summer and fall. Sow thinly in 
drills In January, February and March, according to location, cover the 
seed lightly. It makes best on new ground or ground that has not been 
cultivated for several years. If stable manure is used, it should be ap¬ 
plied several months before the crop is planted. Fresh manure always 
make spotted turnips, Inferior in quality and with a rank flavor For fall 
and winter use sow rutabaga from July 15th to September 1st, turnips 
from August 1st to October 16th in this latitude, further South they can be 
later, and in Florida sowings can be continued all through the 
Sow 1 ounce seed to 2U0 feet of row; 2 to 3 pounds per acre.
