Cadivell & Jones, Seeds and Agricultural Implements 
Radish 
To succeed with the Radish, everything must be done which will promote 
steady, rapid growth. A light, rich, sandy soil is best, and for early Spring 
Radishes the seed should be sown in February in hotbeds, providing gentle 
heat. Sow in rows 6 inches apart, cover lightly; when plants are well up, 
thin to 1 or 2 inches apart in the rows. As soon as ground can be worked 
transplant out-of-doors in beds of finely prepared soil. Rows 8 to 10 
inches apart. For a later succession sow every 10 days or two weeks. 
Sow the seed for Winter varieties in July or August, take up before the first 
severe frost, pack in sand and store in a cool cellar. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill.

Squashes 
Not safe to plant before May 15. Prepare and enrich soil as for Cucumber, and plant seed in hills, 3 to 4 feet 
apart each way if for Summer varieties, and 6 to 8 feet for the later sorts. Plant 8 to 10 seeds in each hill, covering 
34 inch deep, and as soon as plants have set their rough 
leaves and danger of bugs is past, thin to four plants 
per hill. Of the early varieties, one oz. will sow 
40 hills, and 10 hills of the later sorts, 4 to 6 
lbs. for one acre.
