 9 to 10 peas to the pod. The peas are of exquisite 

 flavor and mature early. Many people who have

Radish— Rettig 



Premlmn Qem Peas. 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. Nine pounds will sow an acre. 



Culture — Select light, sandy soil, spade deeply and manure well. For 

 early crop, sow in hotbeds in February or March ; for main crop, sow 

 at intervals from early spring until last of September in deep, rich soil. 

 Broadcast sowing is allowable, but drilling is more professional ; how- 

 ever, radishes do well by either method. Thin when they crowd, or the 

 Crop will be imperfect. They may be drawn after a few weeks' growth.

 continuing crisp until full grown. Packet 5c; ounce 10c; J4 pound 30c; 

 pound $1.00.

 Alakes a fine show when bunched for market. Popular with market gar- 

 deners. Packet 5c; ounce 10c; % pound 30c; pound $1.00.
