of Row. Three Pounds Will Sow an Acre. Matures for Table 60 to 90 Days, According to Variety 
and Season. Breaks ground in 4 days. One inch high in 8 days under most favorable circum¬

Turnip seed may be sown when the Peach is in blossom, or among the first seeds in early Spring; indeed, 
the only hope of a successful Spring crop is in an early start, as otherwise the period of maturity extends into 
hot weather, when the bulb becomes fibrous and pungent. Midsummer and early Autumn are the seasons 
for the most successful Turnip drilling to obtain good roots for Winter use.
