RADISHES 
1 oz. for 100 feet of drill; 9 Ibs. per acre. 
Light, sandy soil, rich in organie 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. 
Extra Early Scarlet Globe No. 8 
From Specially Selected Transplanted Roots 
A reselected strain so uniform in its maturity that each sowing 
can be entirely gathered and bunched at one pulling, with prac- 
tically no waste. This means more bunches per row, more time 
saved in bunching, and the ground ready for the next crop a week 
earlier. This equalized maturity also permits sowing this crop 
between rows of beans, corn, etc., as a “catch crop.” This is the 
market gardener’s favorite as a forcing Radish, very early; mild 
and crisp, juicy and tender; ample top, will stand heat without 
becoming pithy. One of the best selling and most attractive

care as to size, shape, color and earliness, and market gardeners 
will find it a money maker, as it is just right in every respect.
