PUSSELL-HECKLE 
SEED COMPANY 
Turnips 
Culture—Spring sowing should be put in early, so that they they will attain a good size 
before hot weather. For the regular crop, sow the early sorts in July or August, the later 
sorts during August, and the salad varieties during August and September. Sow either 
broadcast or in drills 2 to 21/2 feet apart, thinning out to 2 to 3 inches and roll the ground 
after sowing. Cover the seed about 1/2 inch. Sow 1 to 2 pounds to acre in drills, 2 to 3 pounds 
broadcast. Rutabaga or Swede should be sown in July, and always in drills 18 to 24 inches 
apart, and then the plants thinned out to stand 4 to 6 inches. As the plants grow ridge up 
to them, otherwise they will form no bulbs.
