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.
