GARDEN SEEDS 35 
Turnips 
Culture —Spring sowing should be put in early, so that they will attain a good size be¬ 
fore hot weather. For the regular crop, sow the early sorts in July or August, the later 
sorts during August, and the salad varieties during August and September. Sow either 
broadcast or in drills 2 feet apart, thinning out to 6 inches and roll the ground after sow¬ 
ing. Rutabagas should be sown in July and early in August, and earthed up as they grow. 
New ground makes the best turnips, or, if sown in your garden, first mix a good supply of 
phosphate with the ground, then sow your seed. Cover the seed about y 2 inch. Sow IV 2 
pounds to the acre in drills, 2 pounds broadcast.
