VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Beckert's Seed Store, 101 and 103 Federal St., N. S., Pittsburgh, Pa. 



CRISP RADISHES 



(SRettig) 



To be crisp and tender, Radishes must grow quickly; whenever 

 growth is checked by drought or cold weather, they become tough and 

 pithy. Rich, light, sands soil suits them best. For the forcing crop, 

 sow seeds in hotbeds in rows 5 to 6 inches apart and thin the plants 

 as the ground becomes warm. Seed of winter varieties should be 

 sown in midsummer. Summer varieties arc best adapted for general 

 crop. An ounce of seed will sow about 75 feet of drill.
