Navet, Fr. Kabo Comnn, Sp. •<«- For early use, sow as soon as the ground opens in spring, in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart; thin out to 6 or 9 inches in the rows; as soon as the first leaves appear, sprinkle with soot, wood-ashes, air-slaked lime, or Slug Shot, to destroy the little black fly, which will devour the plants if not attended to in time. Slug Shot is a certain remedy for the black fly. For a succession, contine to sow every two weeks until June ; for a fall and winter crop, sow in July and August; do not sow later than the 1st of September. The Ruta Bagas are grown for feeding stock, and are also excellent for the table. Take up the roots in Novem- ber or before severe frosts ; cut off the tops within an inch of the crown, store in a cool cellar or pit, or pile up in a conical form, out of doors, in dry ground ; cover carefully with long straw, and finish by earthing up, covering them with about 12 or 15 inches of earth, leaving a trench around the heap to carry off the water. Put away in this manner they will be found in good condition in the spring. TABLE TURNIPS. RED, OK PURPLE TOP STRAP LEAF.
