TURNIP 
One ounce plants 100 feet 
Cu.rure: They do best in highly enriched, light, sandy 
or gravelly soils. Commence sowing the earliest varieties 
in April, in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out 
early to 6 to 9 inches in rows. For a succession sow at 
intervals of a fortnight until the last week in July; from 
then until the end of August sowing may be made for the 
fall and main crop. Turnips may be preserved until 
spring by cutting off the tops about 1 inch from the bulb, 
storing in the cellar or cold shed during the winter, cover- 
ing the roots with dry sand. They should be harvested 
before the severe frost seis in, for, though comparatively 
hardy, few will survive the winters of the Northern States 
in the open ground. 
Purple-Top White Globe. Because we have bred up 
a strain that is particularly uniform, with well- 
shaped roots of clear white topped purplish red, the 
flesh crisp and tender, we urge trying this strain. We
