* WHEN IN DOUBT, ORDER THE STAR VARIETIES 

TURNIP 
The main crop is usually sown in July or August, to mature 
during the fall, but early-season crops can be obtained by sowing 
the quick-maturing varieties as soon as the ground can be pre- 
pared in the spring. Sow the seed thinly in rows 15 inches apart, 
and cover with 1% inch of soil. Thin the early sorts to stand 3 to 4 
inches apart in the rows and the large main-crop Turnips about 
6 inches. If not thinned out they will produce only tops and will 
not develop roots. 
An ounce of seed will sow about 300 feet of drill; 
a pound will sow an acre

over a foot long and 3 inches in diameter. Skin and flesh white.

July in rows 18 inches apart. Cover the seed with 1 inch of fine 
soil and thin out the seedlings to 8 to 10 inches. They may be 
stored in a cool cellar or pit for winter use.
