SEED GROWERS

RADISH 



Our radish stocks are unequalled by any others to be had from American or European sources. 

 Tons of stock seed are grown each year at our seed breeding stations from roots which are pulled, 

 hand selected by skilled workers and replanted for seed production in carefully isolated fields. This is 

 why our stocks are superior in earliness, uniformity and quality. 



We have indicated below the number of days required under favorable conditions to produce 

 roots of satisfactory bunching size.
