or Detroit Dark Red in hotbeds and transplant, cutting off 
the outer leaves. For general crop sow in freshly prepared 
soil as soon as the ground will permit, in rows eighteen 
inches apart, covering about an inch deep and pressing the 
soil firmly over the seed. For winter use the turnip varie¬ 
ties may be sown in June so as to mature late in the season.
