Turnips (lo best in highly enriched, light, sandy or gravelly soils. Commence sowing the earliest 
varieties in April in drills from twelve to fifteen inches apart, and thin out early to six or nine inches in 
the rows. For a succession sow at intervals of a fortnight until the last week in July, from which time 
until the end of August sowings may bo made for the fall and main crop. Turnips may be preserved until 
spring by cutting off the tops about one inch from the bulb, and storing in a cellar or cool shed during 
winter, covering the roots with dry sand. They should be harvested before severe frost sets in, 
for, though comparatively 
hardy, few of the varieties 
will survive the winters 
of the Northern States
