The Best Turnips to Plant 
An ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. If sown in drills, 
one pound is required for an acre; if sown broadcast, 
less seed is sufficient if sown evenly. 
CULTURE. For early, sow seed of flat varieties in 
open ground in spring in drills one foot or more apart, 
using seed sparingly. Thin to 3 or 4 inches apart. For 
succession, sow every two weeks until June. For fall 
and winter, sow in July and August. A good crop may 
often be grown by scattering seed thinly in the corn' 
field at last cultivation. For Rutabagas, sow seed in 
seed-bed in spring and transplant to good warm soil, in 
rows at least 2 feet apart and 8 or 10 inches apart in 
the rows, or sow in open ground during June and early 
July. Take up the roots just before winter, top and store 
in cool cellar, or pit outdoors. 
EARLY WHITE MILAN. Roots flat, smooth and sym' 
metrical, pure white. Top very small, upright, and 
compact, permitting close planting. The earliest and 
much the best of any extra early white variety. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 50c. 
EARLY PURPLE MILAN. Differs from the preceding 
in that the roots are not quite so thick and are purple 
on top. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 50c.
