Mixed Radishes 
/ 
Radish 
For an early supply, sow in a hotbed in February, care being taken to give abundant ventila- 
tion to prevent running to leaves. For open air culture and succession, sow from middle of March 
until September at intervals of a week or ten days. The growth must be rapid to insure crispness 
succulence, and mildness of flavor. A fine, dry, sandy loam, enriched and made light with well-rotted 
manure, is best adapted for the purpose, all heavy soils producing directly the opposite results from 
those desired. 
One ounce to 100 feet of drill; 9 or 10 lbs. per acre. 
NOW PLUS ULTRA.— This variety has as small 
a top and is as early as any in cultivation, mak- 
ing it one of the best for forcing under glass. 
Roots ready to pull may be had in three weeks 
and they remain ill for use longer than any other 
early variety. They are small, globular, smooth, 
very deep red in color, flesh is white, crisp, tender 
and mild in flavor. May be planted very closely, 
owing to their small tops. lb., 25c; i lb., 75c.
