 quantity of manure and 100 pounds of kainit to 1,000 square 

 feet of bed. Incorporate thoroughly, make a trench 8 inches 

 deep, set plants 9 inches apart. In field culture rows are

 other. Plant shoots about five inches long, making holes for 

 same with a stick, and set them about two inches under the 

 soil. Have the shoots cut squarely across the bottom, but 

 cut slanting at the top, in order that one side may be a little 

 longer than the other. Keep free from weeds for the first 

 and second seasons, after which the Horse Radish will take 

 care of itself. Doz., 20c. By Mail. 25c. Per 100, 75c. By Mail,
