Radishes 



(Rettig) 



Crispy freshness is more essential to the good tasting qualities of the 

 Radish than to any other vegetable root and the freshest roots are, of course, 

 those pulled from your own garden. 



SOW SEED thinly not more than 1 inch deep in drills from 12 to 15 

 inches apart and thin out to stand 2 or more inches apart, according to 

 variety. 



An ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of row.
