Turnips 
German—Weisse Rueben. Spanish—Nabo. 
Italian—Navone, Rapa, 
Culture: Turnip is one of the first seeds to be sown in 
the spring. As soon as the ground can be worked, spade 
or plow deeply, and prepare the surface finely, raking off 
all clods and stones. Sow the seeds at once in the freshly 
dug soil; sow very thinly in rows 1 foot to 3 feet apart, 
or broadcast by raking the seeds into the soil one-half 
inch deep. When up, thin out to three inches apart. Sow¬ 
ings at intervals of 10 days can be made until the end of 
August.

appearance, being globe-shaped, flesh firm and white, 
skin smooth, pure white, except crown or upper portion, 
which is richly colored, maroon to deep purple. Second. 
It is exceptionally sweet and mild. Flesh is crisp, not
