Not illustrated. 1810 edition. Excerpt: ... These are carried off, and after the taproots have been cut away, and all rotten leaves removed, they are placed in rows in some spare corner of my garden, and, except the leaves, are completely covered up with earth. When the stems shoot up, they are supported by stakes and straw ropes, and covered with nets to keep off small birds. For the last five years, I have annually transplanted my Swedish turnips for seed, and have found them better and better every year. But the disposition which this root has to form seed stalks, renders the quality of the crop extremely precarious; for, . although the flower stems do not appear, the production of the seed-stalk renders the bulb corky. I have still some hopes, that a mode of managing Swedish turnips may be discovered, such as to enable us to raise them in perfection.

No farmer who regards his turnip crop ought to buy seed. Raising it for one's self is so easy, and the certainty of having good fresh seed so satisfactory, that no further recommendation is necessary. I cannot yet say when the transplanting of Swedish turnip should cease, and when they ought to be left in the field to seed. But the effects of transplanting on other sorts, is such as to render them too flat and soft after a year or two; and the usual practice is, to allow them to produce seed in the field every third year, and in some instances, every second year.
