Rutabagas or Swede Turnips

Culture. The same as Turnips except that Rutabagas 
require a longer season for maturing and should be sown 
the latter half of June. 
Turnips are a delicious and non-fattening fibrous 
food. Turnips are easily and cheaply grown, they make 
a delicious dish for the table also. An excellent feed to 
keep stock in good shape. 
Culture. One ounce sows 125 feet of drill. In drills 
12 to 15 inches apart use two pounds per acre, broad¬

idly and to avoid any check in growth. Turnips thrive 
best in the cool months of the Spring and Fall. Sowings 
should be made in the early Spring or in July and 
August. Spring crop should be planted as early as the
