Spring and Fall Radishes 
Radishes 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill 
The ground for growing radishes should be finely prepared 
and as free as possible of small stones and lumps. Plant seed 
about Vi inch deep in rows 1 2 to 18 inches apart, and when 
up about an inch thin to 1 or 2 inches apart. Radishes are at 
their best when growth is quick and steady. A moderate tem¬ 
perature and constant moisture are favorable for best results. 
Most varieties become pithy soon after reaching full size. 
In order to keep a continuous supply, successive plantings 
should be made.

greatly to rid these vines of the destructive bugs. Apply in the 
morning when the plants are covered with dew. 1 lb. 10 cts.,

Salsify 
(VEGETABLE OYSTER) 
The roots of this vegetable are appetizing and nutritious, and the 
flavor is like that of oysters. Salsify succeeds best in a light, well enriched 
soil, which should be stirred to a good depth. Coarse and fresh manure 
should be avoided, as it will cause the roots to become irregular and 
branched. Sow early and quite deep, giving the general culture recom¬ 
mended for parsnip.

likely to branch than those of other sorts. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts., 1 oz. 20
