Curnip 
One ounce will sow 100 ft. of drill ; two pounds per acre unless broadcast when three pounds should be used per acre. 
A little more seed should be planted when varieties for greens rather than roots are desired. It is best to plant 
early varieties in the spring when the peach is in bloom (during April in most areas). Drill the seed 12-18 inches 
apart and thin out 4-6 inches in the row. Cover the seed 3 inch. For fall and winter crop sow in July or August 
in most localities. Turnips grown in rows and cultivated by horse should be about 2 feet apart. Many broadcast 
Turnips in field with other crops.
