Water freely at the time of transplanting. Sufficient plants for a 
small garden may be started by sowing a few seeds in a seed pan or 
flower pot, and placing it in a sunny window of the sitting-room or 
kitchen. Train upon trellis work, or support by driving sticks in the 
ground, and tying to them.

or broadcast, and be sure to have the ground freshly dug before sowing! 
Keep them perfectly free from weeds, and when the bottoms begin 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 Turnips in old gardens, 
where they are almost certain to grow wormy if the earth is allowed to 
remain in contact with the roots. For the Spring and Summer crops, it 
is important to get them started very early, so that they may have time 
to grow to sufficient size before the 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
