Culture. The plants are very tender and sensitive to 
cold, and planting must be delayed until settled warm 
weather. The general principles of culture are the 
same as those given for cucumbers and melons, but the 
plants are less particular as to soil. The summer 
varieties should be planted four feet apart each way, 
and the winter sorts eight feet. Three plants are suf¬ 
ficient for a hill. Care should be taken not to break 
the stems from the squashes intended for winter use, 
as the slightest injury will increase the liability to 
decay.

TURNIP 
German,—Steckrube French,—Navet 
Spanish,—Nabo Comun 
Turnips may be sown at all seasons from April to 
August in our climate, although those will be the best 
which are sown very early in spring for summer 
crops, and early in August for a fall and winter crop. 
A light soil, well manured the previous year, is the 
best. A few hundred pounds per acre of quick-acting 
fertilizer will have a tendency to make the roots 
smooth, and to make the rapid growth so essential in 
producing sweet and palatable turnips.
