Superior RADISH SEED 
Radishes, to be crisp and tender, must be grown quickly. This requires a light, rich and finely pulverized soil. 
Sow for early use in hotbeds during the winter and early spring, and later on in sheltered borders, continuing 
at intervals from April until August, if a succession is desired. Sow thinly in drills ten inches apart and thin 
the plants to stand two inches apart so the bulbs will have ample room for development. When sown in frames 
they must have plenty of ventilation, or they will grow all leaves and very small bulbs. Sow the winter varie- 
ties during July and August. They should be dug before severe frost and stored in sand, in a cool cellar or pit, 
where they keep in fine condition. Set them in ice-water before using, to freshen them.
