HASTINGS' RADISH SEED 
Long White Vienna or 
Lady Finger (No. 388) 
Cultlll* 0 k results radishes require a rich, loose 
vuiCHiC moist soil, so they can be grown quickly. 
The crisp, tender flesh of early radishes depends almost en- 
tirely on rapid growth. Successive plantings should be made 
every 10 days or two weeks to keep up a continuous supply 
of crisp and tender radishes. For early 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 rad- 
ishes should be-sown thinly in drills one foot apart, seed cov- 
ered 1/^ 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 rad- 
ish seed is of the very best, being grown from carefully select- 
ed and transplanted roots. Radishes are very easy to grow. 
Hastings’ Early Long Scarlet (No. 376) 
This is the most popular of all radishes in the South for general 
garden use and market. Our illustration shows the remarkable 
regularity and flne shape of our strain of this variety. It’s a fa- 
vorite everywhere, no vegetable garden being complete without 
it. Tops rather small, roots long and tapering to a decided 
point.; color an intense bright scarlet. Flesh is very crisp and 
tender and when grown rapidly, as all radishes should be, it is 
free from all pungent taste. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; %

UMLPISn dtCiU I the seed business we have 
never known good radish seed in such short supply as now. Much 
radish seed comes from France, and war conditions are responsible 
for French shortage. In the United States unfavorable weather 
almost ruined the crop of some varieties and cut down the yield 
of all.
