50 J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD. 
SELECTED RADISHES. 
CULTURE.—This is a popular vegetable, and grown to a large extent. The ground 
for Radishes should be rich and mellow. The early small varieties can be sown broad- 
cast among other crops, such as beets, peas, spinach, or where lettuce has been trans- 
planted. Early varieties are sown in this section the whole year, but during Summer 
they require frequent watering to make them grow quickly. The Early Scarlet Turnip, 
White Tipped and White Strasburg are best for planting during the Summer months. 
Winter varieties, however, require some time to mature, and the Seed should be planted 
in August, September, November and December. Very popular for shipping North. 
Radishes constitute one of our most staple vegetables for shipping to Northern markets. 
Matures in 25 to 40 days. 
One ounce to 150 feet of drill; § pounds to the acre. 
suffer from many insect pests which destroy both the tops and the roots.
