RADISH 



Radis et Rave. Rabaitos y Rabaititos. 3{abici^ unb Sfettig. 

 One ounce will sow 100 feet of row. 



Radishes, to be crisp and tender, must make a steady, rapid growth; therefore a rich, light, sandy soil is best adapted for their 

 culture. For early Spring use, sow in February in hotbed in rows 6 inches apart, and cover lightly; thin to 1 or 2 inches apart 

 in the rows. They should be large enough for use in from four to five weeks from the time of planting. Plant in the open air as soon 

 as the ground can be worked, on finely prepared beds, in rows 8 to 10 inches apart; sow for succession every ten days or two weeks 

 as long as wanted. The Winter varieties should be planted in July or August, taken up before severe frost, packed in sand for Winter 

 use and stored in a cool cellar. 



If to be forwarded by mail, add at the rate of 6c. per pound for postage.
