(28) J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 
RADISHES 
1 oz. for 100 feet of drill; 9 lbs. per acre. 
Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to produce 
crisp and tender radishes. For an early crop sow the seed as soon 
as the ground can be worked, in drills 6 to 10 inches apart, cover- 
ing the seed half an inch deep. When the plants are well started, 
thin out to one inch apart in the drills. Frequent watering in dry 
weather is very beneficial as high quality is largely dependent upon 
rapid growth. For a continuous supply, successive plantings should 
be made at intervals of 10 days to two weeks, selecting varieties 
best suited for the season.
