RADISH—Rettig 
Up to the present season we have furnished our customers French grown Radish Seed only, grown from selected 
and transplanted roots, but owing to the failure in crops and short deliveries we have been compelled to follow the 
footsteps of other seed houses in securing some American grown stock, which is obtained from the best known 
growers in this country. 3 ; 
1 oz. for 100 feet of drill; 9 lbs. to an acre. 
For early use sow in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills, 6 to 10 inches apart, covering 
the seed- half an inch deep; thin plants an inch apart in the row. As the roots are succulent and more tender when 
grown quickly, a rich, light soil should be preferred, and frequent watering in dry weather will be found beneficial. 
For a succession, sow every two weeks,
