VEGETABLE SEEDS 



RADISH 



EARLY ROUND 

 VARIETIES 



CULTURE — Radishes thrive best in a sandy, loamy soil, and to have a continuous supply for the table sow as early in the spring 

 as possible and at intervals of ten days thereafter. Where the summers are very hot, sow until the fifteenth of May and then omit until 

 August. Then make three sowings at intervals during this month. 



Radishes are divided into three classes, spring, summer, and winter kinds, and all kinds should be used in a garden. Radishes are fit 

 for the table in 25 to 40 days from sowing in the open ground. For extra early crop saw seed in hot bed in February. One oz.for each 

 100 ft. of row.
