TURNIPS 
All Prices Postpaid Unless Otherwise Noted 
CULTURE: Turnip is one of the first seeds to bs 
sown in the spring. As soon as the ground can 
worked, spade or plow deeply, and prepare the Bic 
face finely, raking off all clods and trash. Sow the 
seeds ati once in the freshly dug soil; sow very thinly 
in rows 1 to 3 feet apart, or broadcast by raking the 
seeds into the soil 4% inch deep. When up, thin 
out to 3 inches apart. Soil should not be allowed 
to become hard and dry, for turnips to be good and 
mild must be grown quickly. Sowings at intervals 
of 10 days can be made end of August.
