RUTABAGA OR SWEDE 
A packet will sow 25 feet of row, an ounce 150 feet, 
11% pounds per acre. 
Although closely related to the turnip, Ruta- 
bagas are different in many respects. They 
grow to a much larger size, the flesh is firmer, 
milder in flavor and better adapted for winter 
storage. They require a longer growing season 
and more moisture. 
CULTURE. Seed may be sownfrom mid-June 
to mid-July in rows 24% to 3 feet apart. The 
culture is the same as for turnips except that the 
plants should be thinned to 8 or 10 inches apart 
in the rows. When the roots are full grown, they 
should be pulled, topped and stored in a cool 
cellar or pit for winter use. If kept cool and 
sufficiently moist to prevent withering they will 
remain in prime condition all winter.
