Turnips are easy to grow. They will thrive in the 
Spring or Fall but will not do well during the heat of

until May 15. The Fall crop should be sown in August. 
Any reasonably good garden soil will suffice. 
Sow in rows, 114 feet apart and cover the seed with 
not over !4 inch of soil. When the plants are about 3 
inches high, thin them out to stand 3 inches apart.
