Dependable Table Turnips 
An ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. If sown in drills, one pound 
is required for an acre; if sown broadcast, less seed is sufficient 
if sown evenly. 
Culture. For early, sow seed of flat varieties in open ground in 
spring in drills one foot or more apart, using seed sparingly. 
Thin to 3 or 4 inches apart. For succession, sow every two weeks 
until June. For fall and winter, sow in July and August. A good 
crop may often be grown by scattering seed thinly in the corn- 
field at last cultivation. For Rutabagas, sow seed in seed-bed in 
spring and transplant to good warm soil in rows at least 2 feet 
apart and 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows, or sow in open 
ground during June and early July. Take up roots just before 
winter, top and store in cool cellar, or pit outdoors.

Early White Milan pure white. Top very small, upright, 
and compact, permitting close planting. The earliest and
