F. DICKMAIS^N'S CATALOGUE OF SEEDS. TURNIP. German, StecTcruhe. French, Navet. Spanish, Nabo Coman. This wholesome and agreeable vegetable is most easily affected in its form and flavor by soil, climate and mode of culture. There are a great manv varieties, but we have selected the following as the best for the garden or farm. Culture.—Sow in drills fourteen inches apart and half an inch deep, or sow broadcast, but in either case be sure to have the ground rich and freshly dug. Be careful to weed and thin out, so the young plants will not be checked and injured. Any over-crowding will result in rough and poor flavored fruit. For the Spring and Summer crops it is important to get them started very early so they may have time to grow sufficient size before hot weather, when they soon become tough and strong. For the Fall and main crop, sow from July to the last of August, as directed for the Spring sow- ing. In the field. Turnips are generally sown broadcast, though much larger crops are obtained by drill culture. To preserve Turnips in good order for Winter, store them in barrels placed alongside the wall of a cool cellar and cover them with sand or turf to keep them fresh. Another method is to put them in a cellar or dry pit, and cover with straw and then earth over it to the depth of eight or ten inches. Thus protected they will keep well till Spring, EXTRA EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN. Tops very small, distinctly strap leaved, and growing very erect and compact. The roots are small and flatTurnip- shaped, skin purple on top of the root, clear white below, flesh white. The most desirable sort for forc- ing, or very early
