HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— AGRICULTURAL SEEDS 



RADISH 



Sow Radish Seed about every two weeks, growing only about 

 what quantity you can use between crops. Summer varieties 

 should be used for planting during July and August, as they with- 

 stand hot weather better than the early sorts. For winter use 

 sow seed of the Winter Varieties in July, and they can be harvested 

 before severe frosts and stored in sand in a cool cellar.

 early fall months. Dreer's Eureka and Nott's Excelsior are 

 especially desirable for this purpose.
