Henderson’s Rocket Radishes 
(See also colored plate on page 9.) 
A dish of Rocket Radishes presents a most attractive appearance when 
prepared for the table, and we advise everyone to grow some. In addition 
to their bright appearance, they are among the earliest varieties grown. 
For these reason they are used very extensively for forcing, when they 
may be had in 21 days from sowing. They do equally well outdoors, 
but, in common with all Radishes, must be grown under conditions 
that induce rapid growth, for only then will they acquire proper flavor 
and crispness. They must be pulled just as soon as ready.
