One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill 

 CULTURE. — Sow early and often. In good, warm, fibrous loam, especially if quite sandy, summer Radishes will make a 

 crop in 4 to 6 weeks from sowing. The soil should be well prepared and fertilizers may be used freely. Have the rows a foot 

 apart, and sow juit seed enough so that they will not require thinning. Any little spot that becomes available during summer 

 may be utilized for planting Radishes. The short or turnip-rooted sorts are quickest and easiest to grow, and good for forcing 

 also. On greenhouse bench or frames the rows need not be more than 4 inclies apart. Sow winter Radishes in July and 

 August. They grow best in the cooler autumn weather. Take them up before severe freezing and store in sand in the cellar 

 or in a pit, where they will keep teuder and crisp all winter.
