Vegetable Seeds 



CRISP RADISHES « 



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, sandy 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 are best adapted for general crop. An 

 ounce of seed will sow about 75 feet of drill.
