PURPLE TOP MILAN TURNIP. 
TURNIP. 
Turnips thrive best in rich, sandy, gravelly soil. The earliest 
varieties can be sown as soon as the ground can be worked, either 
in drills or broadcast. For a succession, sow at intervals of a fort¬ 
night until the last week in July, from which time until the end 
of August sowings may be made for the fall and main crops. 
One ounce for 150 feet of drill; one to two pounds in drills for 
an acre. 
To keep the roots fresh during the winter, they may be placed 
in a cool, dry cellar and buried with dry sand.

Sweet and Medicinal Herbs* 
No garden is complete without a few herbs for culinary or medicinal purposes, and care should 
be taken to harvest them properly. This should be done on a dry day, just before they come into 
full bloom, then dried quickly and packed, entirely excluded from the air. Sow in spring, in 
shallow drills, one foot apart and when well up thin out or transplant to a proper distance apart.
