Culture—Turnips like cool weather and thrive best 
in Spring and Fall. 
For early turnips plant the seed as soon as the 
ground can be worked so that the roots are large 
enough for the table before hot weather, otherwise 
they will become fibrous, tough and bitter. Sow in 
good rich soil either broadcast or in drills % in. 
deep, 1% to 2 ft. apart and thin out to 3 to 4 ins. 
apart in the row. 
For late turnips sow late in Summer or early Fall. 
Harvest the crop after freezing weather, top and 
store in an outdoor pit or a cool cellar.
