NEEDED FOR TURNIPS
GOOD OPEN POSITION. Successful turnip culture can be summed up as follows:—Provide a good open position and well dig and manure it, burying the manure only a few inches below the surface. Break the lumps of soil as fine as possible and rake level with a small-toothed rake. Draw drills 12in to 15in apart and if it is at hand scatter a little soot or artificial manure in them. Sow very thinly, keep the soil well stirred weekly with the hoe, and thin out the plants first to 4in and then Bin apart. These last thinnings have considerable culinary value.
