TURNIP 
CULTURE: Turnips may be grown in the Spring 
or in the Fall, but do better when planted late in 
the year — July and August. Light, moist, rich 
soil will permit rapid, deep growth needed for qual- 
ity production. Sow in 18 to 20 inch rows, and thin 
out later to 4 or 5 inches apart in the row. Fall 
turnips may be taken up and stored all winter in 
cool cellar or pit.
