Crisp, Tasty 

 Radishes 



Redieschen {Ger.) Ravenella (/la/.) 



One ounce of seed will plant 100 feet of row. 



The quickest maturing and earliest vege- 

 table we may enjoy from our garden-patch, 

 and one that we may have, with repeated 

 sowings, on our table from spring to fall. 

 Early in April, or as soon as the soil becomes 

 workable, and up to the middle of May, sow 

 the Early Round and Early Olive-shaped 

 varieties; they will mature in 4 to 5 weeks. 

 Follow these up by the first of May with the 

 Early Long varieties, and 4 weeks later sow 

 the varieties that are listed for summer use. 

 Throughout July and early August sow the 

 winter varieties, thus insuring a continuous 

 supply of fresh, crisp Radishes for your 

 garden year.
