TURNIPS and RUTA-BAGAS | 
Turnips are easy to grow. They will thrive in the 
Spring or Fall but will not do well during the heat of 
Summer. Seeds may be sown as early as the ground is 
workable (about April 1) with successive sowings 
until May 15. The Fall crop should be sown in August. 
Any reasonably good garden soil will suffice. 
Sow in rows, | 14 feet apart and cover the seed with 
not over } inch of soil. When the plants are about 3 
inches high, thin them out to stand 3 inches apart. 
These tender vitamin-rich plants should not be 
discarded, they make delicious greens.

An important Fall crop for the roots can be 
stored throughout the Winter. 
Seeds may be sown during April, but since they do 
not do well during hot weather, it is best not to make 
further plantings until after June 15, when an Autumn 
crop may be sown. Their cultural requirements are 
like Turnips except that they must be thinned to 
stand 6 inches apart.

May until Midsummer. Sow thinly in rows and cover the seed with not over 14 inch of soil. If the plants are to be used when small, thin out
