Buchanan’s Turnip Seeds 
CULTURE—One ounce will sow 200 feet in a drill; 1 to 2 lbs. for an acre. 
For early use, sow seed of flat varieties in open ground in spring, in drills 
1 foot or more apart, using seed sparingly. Thin to 3 or 4 inches apart. 
For succession sow every two weeks until May. For fall and winter sow in 
August and until December. A good crop may often be grown by scattering 
seed thinly in the corn field and cotton field at the last cultivation.
