TURNIP. 
German, Steckriibe. —French, Navet. —Spanish, Nabo Coman. 
One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; 2 pounds for 1 acre. 
For the spring crop, commence sowing the early varieties 
as soon as the ground can be worked in drills 14 inches apart; 
thin out the plants to 5 or 6 inches apart. Keep clear from 
weeds, and, when the bottom begins to enlarge, brush away 
the earth from about the roots to the depth of half an inch 
or more, and give them a light dressing of wood ashes. This 
is the surest mode of obtaining fair and smooth spring Tur¬ 
nips in old gardens, where they are almost certain to grow 
wormy if the earth is allowed to remain in contact with the 
bulbs. It is important to get them started very early, so 
that they may have time to grow of a sufficient size before 
very hot weather, when they will soon become tough and 
strong. For the fall and main crop, sow from the middle of 
July to the last of August, in drills, as directed for the spring 
sowing.
