RADISH 



For forcing sow in hotbeds or under glass in rich, sandy soil made perfectly level. Scatter evenly over the surface 

 from fifty to one hundred seeds to the square foot and cover with one-half inch of soil sifted on. Careful watering to 

 keep soil moist, even, moderate temperature and good ventilation are required for rapid and best root development. If 

 the bed is a good one the whole crop can be marketed in twenty-one to forty days after planting. For open ground culture 

 sow on rich, sandy soil as soon in the spring as it is fit to work, in drills twelve to eighteen inches apart and thin out the 

 plants to prevent crowding. A good dressing of nitrate of soda will greatly stimulate growth and insure tender, brittle 

 roots. Successional sowings from one week to ten days apart will keep up a supply. After the hot weather of summer 

 begins, it is better to sow the summer and winter varieties, as they do not become tough and stringy nor pithy so 

 quickly as the early sorts. Radishes are subject to root maggots which make them useless for culinary purposes. We 

 know of no certain remedy for this pest. AVe have found that the best preventive measures are to avoid the use of 

 rank maniire and not to sow on ground where radishes, turnips or cabbages were grown the year previous We have 

 been very careful to secure the very best seed possible and there is none sold under other names which is ' better than 

 A,hat of the varieties we offer.
