CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR TURNIPS AND RUTABAGAS 
One ounce will sow 125 feet of drill, two pounds per acre in drills, three pounds broadcast. 
Turnips and Rutabagas do best in highly enriched, light loam soil. In rich soil and 
cool weather, they grow rapidly, without becoming bitter ir. flavor, 
Sow in April, in drills 
12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out to stand 8 inches apart in the row. Rutabagas require 
a longer growing season than turnips and need more moisture. 
should be pulled, topped and stored in a cool cellar or pit. 
When full grown, they 
If cool and sufficiently moist 
to prevent withering, they will keep all winter.
