TURNIP —White Fleshed 
Culture. — Sow early varieties in April as 
soon as ground can be worked, and in drills 
14 inches apart. Main or late crop sorts 
can be sown up to August. Cover seed 34 
inch and thin out 4 to 6 inches in the row. 
Swedish, or Rutabaga varieties for farm 
crop can be drilled about 24 inches apart 
and thinned 8 to 10 inches apart. A first 
class commercial fertilizer should be ap¬ 
plied to the land rather than manure which 
toughens the roots. Cultivate well and 
frequently. An ounce of seed will sow 150 
feet of drill or 134 pounds to the acre.
