Turnip 
One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; 1% lbs. 
per acre. Turnips do best in highly enriched, light, 
sandy or gravelly soil. Sow the earliest varieties as 
soon as the ground can be worked in the spring 
in drills 12 to 18 inches apart. Seed can also be 
sown broadcast, using 3 pounds to the acre for fall 
and winter use. Swedish or Rutabaga Turnips are 
largely grown for a farm crop, as well as for the 
table; make sowings from the 10th of June until 
the last of July, in drills 2 to 3 feet apart.
