TURNIP 
fIVANSN 
The main crop is usually sown in July or 
August, to mature during the fall, but early- 
season crops can be obtained by sowing the 
quick-maturing varieties as soon as the ground 
can be prepared in the spring. Sow the seed 
thinly in rows 15 inches apart, and cover with 
V4 inch of soil. Thin the early sorts to stand 
3 to 4 inches apart in the rows and the large 
main-crop Turnips about 6 inches. If not 
thinned out they will produce only tops and 
will not develop roots. 
An ounce of seed will sow about 300 feet 
of drill; a pound will sow an acre.
