For best results radishes require a rich, loose, moist 
wUI&UlC soii^ so they can be grown quickly. The crisp, tender 
flesh of early radishes depends almost entirely oh rapid growth. Suc- 
cessive plantings should be made every 10 days or two weeks to keep 
up a continuous supply of crisp and tender radishes. For quick use 
plant the round or button radishes and olive shaped. For later use 
plant the long and half-long varieties, as they root much deeper and 
better resist heat and drought. What are known as winter radishes 
should be sown in August and September. All radishes should be 
sown thinly in drills one foot apart, seed covered % inch and kept 
clear of grass and weeds. Sow one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row; 
10 to 12 pounds per acre. Our radish seed is of the very best, grown 
from carefully selected and transplanted roots. Radishes are very 
easy to grow. Radishes mature in 3 to 4 weeks.

SMALL SEED COST— HEAPING RETURNS 
“I might say that I took one single cutting from your 
New Zealand Spinach (15 cents worth) to the grocer the 
other day and it weighed fifteen pounds. He paid me $2.25 in cash, more than all my garden seed cost me this season. I had at 
least 250 heads of lettuce from a 5 cent packet of seed.” — Alexander McPherson, Tampa, Florida.
