Choice Vegetable Seeds 



A Seed Crop of Beckert's Cliartier Kadish 



CRISP RADISHES 



To be crisp and tender, Radishes must grow quickly ; wlienever growth is 

 checked by drought or cold weather, they become tough and pithy. Rich, light, 

 sandy soil suits them best. For the forcing crop, sow seeds in hotbeds in rows 5 

 or 6 inches apart, and thin the plants as the ground becomes warm. Seed of 

 winter varieties should be sown in midsummer. Summer varieties are best 

 adapted for general crop. An ounce of seed will sow about 75 feet of drill.
