RADISH SEED 
Being a root crop, good brittle radishes require light, well-worked soil, made very rich 
and mellow to insure quick growth. If permitted to grow slowly, they become tough 
and pithy. They are easy to grow and frequent plantings will insure a constant supply 
for the table. Use two-thirds ounce for 100 feet of row, and thin the very young 
plants somewhat to prevent crowding. Summer varieties can be sown all spring and 
well into summer. Winter varieties, however, require some time to mature, and the 
seed should be planted in August and September for good radishes in November and 
December.
