Culture—Turnips like cool weather and thrive 
best in Spring and Fall. 
For early turnips plant the seed as soon as 
the ground can be worked so that the roots 
are large enough for the table before hot 
weather, otherwise they will become fibrous, 
tough and bitter. Sow in good rich soil either 
broadcast or in drills Y% in. deep, 114 to 2 
ft. apart and thin out to 3 to 4 ins. apart in 
the row. 
For late turnips sow late in Summer or 
early Fall. Harvest the crop after freezing 
weather, top and store in an outdoor pit or 
a cool cellar.
