CONDON’S “PROVEN” RADISH SEED 
is grown from hand transplanted roots; therefore the types are kept pure and true, and furthermore no 
root is set for seed that is not a perfect, sound, crisp radish, so the seed produced from them comes true 
to type, small tops, highly colored and the flesh remains crisp and firm in good, marketable condition long 
after seed of average quality has got pithy or hollow and gone to seed. Whether you plant only a 
packet for your own use or 100 pounds for market, you should sow the best obtainable and you’ll surely get 
it if you send us your orders. 1 oz. of seed will sow a row 100 ft. long. 10 lbs. of seed will sow one acre.
