RADISHES 
i oz. for 100 feet of drill; 9 Ibs. per acre. 
Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to. pro- 
duce 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, covering the seed half an inch deep. When the plants 
are well started, thin out to oné inch apart in the drills. Fre- 
quent 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.

this is the very best, selected with special care as to size,
