RADISHES BEST FOR 

 SUMMER USE 



The following five varieties are particularly 

 valuable in that they extend the Radish season 

 by at least two months. Any of these varieties 

 may be sown up to August and will be in prime 

 condition throughout the hot months when 

 all early Radishes will have become pithy. 

 Beckert's Chartier is the earliest of these sum- 

 mer Radishes, being ready for table in about 

 45 days after 

 date of sowing 

 seeds. Golden 

 Globe is, per- 

 haps, the great- 

 est heat resister 

 in this class.

WINTER RADISHES 



The Winter Radishes must be sown before July 1, as they develop 

 slowlv and the roots of all varieties grow to very large size. It is desirable 

 therefore that seeds be sown very thinly, and the seedlings should be 

 thinned out to stand from 4 to 12 inches apart in the row, taking the 4- 

 inch distance for the Spanish varieties and the greater distance for the 

 Chinese and Japanese kinds. Use the large Chinese varieties before 

 Christmas. By storing the Spanish varieties in sand or soil, in the 

 cellar, they will keep in crisp condition until nearly the middle 

 of March.
