Home Grown Vegetables Are Best—Success Is Surer With Hardie’s Seeds 
Hardies Crisp Radishes 
SELECTED VARIETIES FOR HOME AND MARKET 
CULTURE—The soil for radishes should be light, rich and well pulv¬ 
erized, as their mild and crisp qualities depend much on their rapid 
growth. For very early use, sow in mild hotbeds in January, and in open 
ground as soon as the ground can be worked; for succession sow at inter¬ 
vals of ten or twelve days; they also do well sown in the fall.
