Maybe you get tired seeing my picture, 
but I thought you might like to see how 
turnips should be eaten—right fresh from 
the ground. 
Here’s a picture of Kermit, myself, Ruth 
and Mrs. Field at their place in the 
Ozarks. You’ll hear me talk a lot about 
them!

Plant some of the early ones in the spring, just as early as you can 
get in the ground. The main crop turnips are best sown the latter part 
of July. Do not sow too thickly. Most folks do. Leave them at least 
6 inches apart in the row. Turnips will keep growing in the ground until 
it freezes and may then be stored in the cave, basement or crib. One 
ounce will drill 150 feet of row. 2 or 3 pounds to the acre. 
810 WHITE GLOBE. A large late variety which is good for 
table use or for stock feed. It produces a tremendous turnip.
