ENGLISH TURNIPS. 
The 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 attack of insects, 
thin them out to some five 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 Au¬ 
tumn will mature if sown very late. In this climate we 
sow from middle of August until middle of September. 
Though for a general crop the Common Turnips are 
sown late in summer, and arc gathered in the autumn, 
yet by sowing early in the spring, Turnips may be 
grown for family or market by early summer. When 
ordering, please be particular to state which kind is 
wanted. The Ruta Bagas arc excellent for all kinds of 
stock, and are relished by all. Every farmer should 
grow this Turnip. In the engravings above No. 1 is 
Early Flat Dutch ; 2, White Norfolk ; 3, Yellow Globe; 
5, Strap Leaf Red Top. The usual form of the Ruta 
Baga, or Swede Turnip, is shown by engravings in the 
next column.
