HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— CHOICE VEGETABLE 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 

 withstand 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.
