Radish Culture 
Sow 1 oz. of Radish Seed for 100 feet, of row. 8 to 10 lbs* 
per acre. 
Radishes should be grown on light, quick soil, given 
plenty of water, and last but not least, the right kind 
of seed should be sown. Radishes grow very quickly and 
if not supplied with 
sufficient moisture are 
likely to be pithy. Sow 
seed Yi inch deep in 
the early Spring in 
rows 1 foot apart and 
the more fertile the 
soil the faster they will 
grow. For a succession, 
sow every 10 days 
throughout the season 
and stir the soil suffic¬ 
iently to keep out 
weeds. 
RHUBARB 
Sow seed in cold frame 
and in six to eight 
weeks transplant to 
rich, deep soil. Trans¬ 
plant again following 
season to permanent 
location, setting 4 to 5 
feet apart each way.
