Maule's Radishes 



Culture: The seed of Spring and Summer Radishes may be sown as early in the spring as the 

 soil can be worked. Successional sowings may be made every 10 days until SeptemlDer. except 

 where summers are hot, in which sections sowings should be stopped from the middle of May until 

 the first of August. Sow seed thinly in shallow drills 12 to 18 in. apart, cover with J j in. of soil; 

 thin to 1 in. apart for small varieties; large varieties, 3 to 4 in. apart. A packet will sow about 20 

 ft. of row; 1 oz. about 100 ft.; 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. Winter Radishes require cool .weather at the 

 end of their growing season, and for that reason, seeds are sown from the middle of June to the 

 middle of August in rows 15 to 24 in. apart; cover seed J^ in. deep. Thin the seedlings to stand 

 4 to 6 in. apart in the row. A packet will sow about 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. about 100 ft.; 8 to 10 

 ™t lbs. per acre. With little care, anyone can grow radishes. They are at their best, however, 

 in finely and deeply prepared soil and when growth is quick and steady.
