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 pre¬ 
vious year is the best; no manure should be applied 
at the time of sowing, unless it be well-decomposed 
compost, or the roots would be liable to be bad- 
flavored. The ground should be dug and ploughed 
deep and made mellow and fine. Sow the seed of 
the flat sorts broadcast, and rake in evenly. After 
they are weP up, thin to six or eight inches apart, 
and keep them clear from weeds. The Ruta Baga 
sorts should be sown in drills fifteen inches apart, 
and for winter use may be sown from the twentieth 
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 150 
feet drill. Two pounds will sow one acre in drills. 
One pound will sow one acre broadcast.
