1 ((Radishes)! 
tifev Select Radish Seed 
Our Radish Seed is 
grown for us under con¬ 
tract, from the finest 
French stocks, and is 
sure to give satisfaction. 
The Radish is one of the most profitable crops to grow for 
market or private garden. It is in demand at all seasons of the 
year, especially in early spring. Radishes must make a rapid 
growth to be crisp and tender. 
The Secret in Growing Radishes —First they should be grown 
on light, quick soil. Second, they should be given plenty of 
water, and last, but by no means least, the right kind of seed 
should be sown. Radishes grow very quickly, and if not sup¬ 
plied with plenty of water are apt to be pithy. 
Culture —For early use seed should be sown in the hotbed, in 
drills 3 or 4 inches apart and half an inch deep. For open 
ground sow as early as weather conditions permit. As soon as 
the first leaves appear, sprinkle with soot or ashes to save them 
from the turnip fly. The winter Raddish should be sown about 
the middle of summer, and makes its best growth in autumn.
