STUMPP &, WALTER CO.’S SELECTED SEEDS 
Early White Milan Turnip. One of 
the earliest varieties in cultivation 
TURNIP 
One ounce will sow about 150 feet of drill 
Culture.- —For early Turnips, sow as soon as the ground 
opens in spring. Rutabagas should be sown from any time 
in June to first of August; but the other kinds, for winter 
use, may be sown from the middle of July to the end of 
August. Turnips are generally sown broadcast, but much 
larger crops are obtained (particularly of 
the Rutabagas) by cultivating in drills 
18 inches apart, and thinning to 6 inches 
in the drill. Sow in drills, one pound to 
the acre; broadcast, two to three pounds 
to the acre.
