Time to Sow—lt is best to sow indoors in flats, or in coldframes, 
during April, but seed sown outdoors in early May will produce fruit 
in September. 
Planting—When sowing use a good light sifted loam and broadcast 
the seed thinly over the surface, cover with not more than 1% inch of 
soil. When the seedlings are from 2 to 3 inches high they should be given 
ample space for proper growth. Either transplant or thin out so that 
they will be about 3 inches apart. After all danger of frost is past these 
plants should be hardened off, by gradual exposure to the out-of-doors, 
during favorable weather; transplanting them to the garden about 
May 20th. Space the plants about 3 feet apart in the rows allowing 
4 feet Pomess rows. Closer planting is possible if the plants are to be 
staked. 
1 ounce of seed should produce about 1500 plants

TURNIPS 
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 work- 
able about April | with successive sowings until May 15. The Fall crop should be 
sown in August. Any reasonably good garden soil will suffice. 
Sow in rows, 1% 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. 
1 ounce of seed should sow a 150-foot row

RUTA-BAGAS 
An important Fall crop for the roots can be stored throughout the Winter 
52 days. 
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 hinned to stand 6 inches apart. 
1 ounce of seed should sow a 150-foot row
