TABLE TURNIPS 
Turnips develop best during cool weather. In the vicinity of Phila 
delphia a fine summer crop can be grown from seed sown early in 
the spring. Most Turnips, however, are sown for a fall crop any 
time from the middle of July until about August 20. Sow thinly 
in rows not less than 18 in. apart and cover with K in. of fine soil. 
Turnip seed often is broadcast between the rows of corn or in the 
cultivated orchard. Early varieties are sown as a catch crop after 
early Potatoes. One oz. will sow 400 ft. of drill. IK to 2 lbs. of 
seed are needed per acre. For broadcasting, 4 to 5 lbs. are needed 
for the same area. The early (E) varieties require 40 to 60 days 
and the late (L) varieties 70 to 75 days to reach maturity.
