CULTURE — One of the earliest delicacies to reach our table 
in the spring and one that may be enjoyed all season long by a 
judicious selection of varieties suitable for different seasons. In 
soil rich in humus, the little early round and olive-shaped sorts 
will be ready for use in from 3 to 4 weeks. Earliest sowings 
may be made as soon as frost is out of the ground. After May 
ist, continue by sowing White Icicle. After June 1st, select any of 
the summer varieties, and around July Ist, sow the late but also 
large Winter Radishes for a fall and winter supply. All radishes, 
to do their best, should be thinned out to stand 2 to 6 inches 
apart in the row, the largest distance given applying to the large 
growing winter varieties, 
798 New Ruby. This variety does not attain a large size but 
is very attractive and quickly forms a root to a condition

skin and crisp white flesh of an agreeably snappy yet mild

forcing. Pkt. 10c; oz, 15c; } lb. 45c; lb. $1.25.
