Turnips 
The old adage: “Sow Turnips the 25th of July, wet or dry,” still holds good for 
the main crop, but excellent results are often obtained from seed planted early in 
August. New land, plowed the previous Spring, is good; harrow thoroughly and 
dress liberally with first-class commercial fertilizer. Sow broadcast and rake or 
bush in. For Summer use, sow early, flat varieties as soon as ground can be worked 
in Spring in drills 12 to 14 inches apart; cover lightly and thin 6 to 8 inches apart in 
the rows. Don’t use fresh manure, as it makes the roots rough and useless.
