TURNIP AND RUTABAGA 
Turnip—Plant 2 to 3 pounds per acre. 
Turnip—In the garden make three plantings at different times. Plant 1 packet of turnip seed to 50 feet of row 
at each planting for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
We list only the varieties that are best suited to Florida grow- 
ing conditions. All our turnip seed is grown from special 
hand-selected and transplanted roots. 
CuLture. Plant in rows 15 to 20 inches apart. Thin early to 
one inch, because any overcrowding will result in misshapen, 
slow-growing, poor quality roots. Final thinning should be 
4 to 6 inches apart. Thinnings may be used for turnip greens. 
For best quality, turnips should be grown rapidly in rich, moist 
soil. Turnips can be planted every month in the year in Florida. 
The number of days after each variety is the time required 
to produce edible roots from seed plantings. 
Prices quoted are postpaid.
