Turnips may be sown at all seasons from April to August in our climate, 
although those will be the best which are sown very early in spring for summer 
crop, and early in August for a fall and winter crop. A light soil well manured 
the previous year is the best; no manure should be applied at the time of sow¬ 
ing, unless it be well decomposed compost, or the roots would be liable to be 
bad-flavored. The ground should be dug or plowed deep and made mellow and 
fine. Sow the seeds of the flat sorts broadcast, and rake in evenly. After they 
are well up, thin to six or eight inches apart, and keep them clear from weeds. 
The Ruta Baga sorts should be sown in drills 15 inches apart, and for winter use 
may be sown from the 20th of June to the middle of July, on land that has been 
well manured for other crops in spring; thin out as for the early crop. One 
ounce will sow r$o feet drill. Two pounds will S070 one acre m drills, 
will sow one acre broadcast.
