RADISH— Rettkh 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 9 pounds will 

 sow an acre. 



CULTURE. — Select light, sandy soil; spade deeply and manure well. For early crop, sow in hot-beds 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; however, 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.
