Culture. While the main crop of Turnips is planted in July, 
more Turnips should be grown in early spring. Seed may be 
broadcast on the few soils free of weeds, but it is more advisable to 
sow in 1' or 2'ft. drills, cover less than one-half inch and thin to 
stand 6 inches apart in the row. Use 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet 
of row and 2 pounds to the acre. The Turnip requires one-half 
more seed when broadcast than in drills and a salad Turnip requires 
orie-half more seed than the Turnip sown as a root crop. 
Herbs 
Culture. In borders and irregular parts of the garden it will 
prove profitable to grow a few Herbs. Their use gives new and 
unusual flavors, pleasing aromas and perfumes and some medicines 
that are as serviceable as can be purchased. Exact cultural direc¬ 
tions suited to them all is impossible. Give them generally the care 
given vegetables or flowers. Where the foliage is to be used, cut 
the young stems on a dry day, wilt in the sun, dry in the shade 
and either hang up the bunches or store in air-tight glass jars.

and for seasoning and flavoring.
