TURN IRS. 
^HE soil for Turnips should be rich and mellow. Sow in drills, 
from twelve to eighteen inches apart, and half an inch deep. 
When the plants are a few inches in height, and strong enough 
to resist the attacks of insects, thin them out to some live or six 
inches apart in the drills. Swede, or Ruta Baga Turnips should 
be sown by the first of June, the rows being about eighteen inches 
apart, and the plants in the rows not less than ten inches. The 
common, or English Turnip, comes to perfection in a short time, 
and if the weather is showery in the Autumn will mature if sown 
very late. In this climate we sow from the 25th of July until the 
middle of August. The Ruta Bagas are excellent for all kinds of 
stock, and are relished by all. Every farmer should grow this 
Turnip.
