RADISHES 
A radish hard, pithy and bitter is worthless, 
A good one—small, crisp and mild—a luxury. 
Poor radishes are raised by most, people with 
doubtful culture, soil and seed; the GOOD by 
few, with rich soil, proper fertilizing and best 
seed—adding wood asnes and salt, insuring 
quick growth and using ItKST SEED. 
Vaughan’s Seed is best—Vaughan’s 
Twenty-Day Forcing Radish is too quick 
to get pithy. Twenty days from sowing ! 
The worms cannot keep up with them. TWO 
CHOPS grow from it while rap is produced from 
Other seed. EVERY KERNEL GROWS !
