CRISP TENDER RADISHES <— 



Crispy freshness is more essential to the 

 f.ood tasting qualities of the Radish than 

 to any other vegetable root and the fresh- 

 est roots are, of course, those pulled from 

 your own garden. 



SOW SEED thinly not more than one inch 

 deep in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart 

 and thin out to stand 2 or more inches 

 apart, according to variety. An ounce of 

 seed will sow IOC feet of row.
