Rutabaga 
One ounce will sow 400 feet of drill—2 
pounds per acre in drills; 3 pounds broadcast. 
CULTURE—Turnips and Rutabagas do best 
in highly enriched, light loam soil. In rich soil 
and cool weather, they grow rapidly, without 
becoming bitter in flavor. Sow in April, in 
drills 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out to 
stand 8 inches apart in the row. Rutabagas 
require a longer growing season than turnips 
and need more moisture. When full grown, 
they should be pulled, topped and stored ina 
cool cellar or pit. ‘if cool and sufficiently 
moist to prevent withering, they will keep all 
winter.
