TURNIPS. 
CULTURE.—For early use, sow early In the spring in rows 15 inches j 
apart, and thin the plants to five or six inches apart in the rows. For fall 
or winter use, the best way is to sow in rows in June and July, but many 
prefer to sow broadcast and harrow or rake the seed in. For this purpose 
Purple Top Strap Leaf is the best variety. New mucky land is the best 
lor this mode of culture. In sowing broadcast use about one pound of 
seed per acre. In drills use two pounds per acre.
