RADISH 
LONG ROOTED 
SORTS 
Radish Icicle, 
Our Radish Seed is Michigan and 
Oregon grown as this seed has the 
reputation of producing roots much 
more quickly and with smaller tops. 
We use other radisn seed onlv when 
this is not available. Early Scarlet 
Globe is a favorite early, small, 
round, red radish for field growing 
as well as forcing. Saxa makes very 
quickly and is used a great deal as a 
forcing sort. For the home garden 
and local market, many prefer Crim¬ 
son Giant because it may be pulled 
nearly as soon as the very early 
sorts and will continue to grow un¬ 
til it reaches a maximum diameter 
of about two inches without becom¬ 
ing pithy. White Icicle is a favorite 
long white radish. Cincinnati Mar¬ 
ket is one of the best long red rad¬ 
ishes. Make a succession of plant¬ 
ings and have radishes throughout 
the season.

RHUBARB 
Rhubarb plants grown from seed will not all come true, but 
growing them this way costs less, and the undesirable plants can be 
discarded. They are quickly and easily grown. Sow seed in rows an 
inch deep and thin the plants to 6 inches apart. In the fall trans¬ 
plant to a permanent location, setting the plants 3 or 4 feet apart.
