TURNIPS 
Turnips develop best during cool weather. In the vicinity of Philadelphia a 
fine summer crop can be grown from 'seed sown early in the spring. Most 
turnips, however, are sown for a fall crop any time from the middle of July 
until about August 20. Sow thinly in rows not less than 18 in. apart and 
cover with y 2 in. of fine soil. One pkt. of seed will plant about 50 ft. of 
row; 1 oz. 250 ft.; \y 2 lbs. for one acre; 2 to 4 lbs. for one acre if 
sown broadcast.

RUTABAGAS —Swede Turnips 
These have firmer flesh than turnips, and, therefore, will keep later into the 
spring. They require 4 weeks longer to mature, and at this latitude seed is 
usually sown from the latter part of June until the middle of July to 
produce large roots for winter storing.
