CULTURE—Turnips and Rutabagas do best in 
highly enriched, light loam soil. In rich soil and 
cool weather, they grow rapidly, without becoming 
bitter in flavor. Sow in April, in drills 12 to 15 
inches apart, and thin out to stand 8 inches apart 
in the row. Rutabagas keep much longer than Tur¬ 
nips, otherwise there is but little difference in 
flavor. 
Turnips and Rutabagas 
One ounce will sow 125 feet of drill, two pounds per acre in drills, three pounds broadcast.
