RADISHES (Continued) 
It is of most handsome shape, 
very early and has but few 
leaves, thus making it of special value for growing in hotbeds or “boxes,” and one- 
third more radishes can be grown in the same space than with most other sorts. It 
is of clear white color, solid, juicy and unsurpassed in flavor. 
This is the standard extra early long scarlet market variety,

A hardy plant grown for its leaves, which are used as 
boiling “greens” or salad. Seed should be sown thinly in 
drills early in spring. When well started thin out to stand 
4 to 6 inches apart in the row. The leaves can be gathered 
for use at any time after the plants are well started in 
growth, and the roots will continue to produce a further 
supply. The plant starting into 
growth early the following spring, will afford a large supply 
of fine “greens” quite early.

Requires a well enriched, mellow 
soil, which, previous to sowing the 
seeds, should be stirred to a depth of 
18 inches. Sow early in the spring in 
drills 15 inches apart; cover the seed 
with fine soil 1% inches in depth, and 
when the plants are strong enough 
thin out to 6 inches apart. As the 
leaves resemble grass, be careful they 
are not mistaken for it when weeding.
