TURNIPS 
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 becom- 
ing bitter in flavor. Sow in April, in drills 12 to 
15 inchés apart, and thin out to stand 8 inches 
apart in the row. Rutabagas require a longer 
growing season than turnips and need more mois- 
ture. When full grown, they should be pulled, 
topped and stored in a cool cellar or pit. If cool 
and sufficiently moist to prevent withering, they 
will keep all winter.
