Maule's Best Radishes 



For Summer 



Culture: Summer Radishes require a longer season to mature thanlthe spring 

 radishes. They are adapted for sowing early in the spring to mature during 

 the summer; or they may be planted later to be ready for the table any 

 time before frost. In hot dry weather radishes are apt to become pithy, 

 owing to slow growth. This can be prevented by shading with lath screens. 

 For a continuous supply sow every two weeks until September. One packet 

 for 20 ft. of drill; 1 oz. for 100 ft.; 8 to !0 lbs. per acre. 



For Winter 



Culture: Winter Radishes require cool weather at the end of their growing 

 season and for that reason they are planted during the summer. They thrive 

 in a light, sandy soil of moderate fertility. Sow the seed 3^2 in. deep in rows 

 spaced IS to 24 in. apart any time during June, July, or early August. Thin 

 the seedlings to stand 4 to 6 in. apart when they are large enough to be 

 handled. Cultivate the crop frequently to preserve soil moisture and keep 

 down the weeds. One packet will sow 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft.; 8 to 10 



lbs. per acre.
